What Happened

The admin pasted their entire XML sitemap into a DNS TXT record. Search engine crawlers look for `sitemap.xml` at the web root — not inside a DNS text record. The `<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"...` tag sitting in global DNS will do absolutely nothing for their SEO.
