Spell the brand "DebateOwl" where Google reads it first; drop DebateLab-only sameAs; larger favicon frames

 To retire a guide, delete its `PAGES` entry, its `CLUSTERS` and `LINK_PHRASES` entries, and its `public/<slug>/` folder (the generator never deletes), add its redirects to `vercel.json`, and repoint any link to it. Two guides that answer the same search should become one page, not two thin ones.
 
-The site origin, product name, brand line, organization name and the organization's `sameAs` profiles live in [`src/config/site.json`](../src/config/site.json). The app's head tags, the prerender and sitemap scripts, and the guide generator all read it, and guide copy names the product with a `{product}` token and the Pro price with `{pro_price}`. The number of prep modes comes from the tool lists in [`tool-links.tsx`](../src/components/features/tools/tool-links.tsx): the app's copy reads `PREP_MODE_COUNT` and `UTILITY_COUNT`, and guide copy uses `{mode_count}`, `{mode_names}` and `{utility_names}`. The trial length and Pro price come from `pricing` in the same file: i18next passes `{{trialDays}}`, `{{proMonthly}}`, `{{product}}`, `{{brand}}` and `{{host}}` to every catalog string, so the English, Spanish and Hungarian pages state the same facts. Do not hardcode those strings in new code or copy. App strings name the product with `{{product}}`, `{{brand}}` and `{{host}}`, which [`src/i18n.ts`](../src/i18n.ts) fills from `site.json` for every key.
+The site origin, product name, brand line, organization name and the organization's `sameAs` profiles live in [`src/config/site.json`](../src/config/site.json). List a profile in `sameAs` only after checking that its live page spells the name "DebateOwl"; on 29 October 2026 the only two listings (SaaSHub and Uneed) still said "DebateLab", so the list is empty and the Organization node leaves `sameAs` out.

 After a production deploy, and only with Adam's approval, `npm run seo:indexnow` sends every URL in the sitemap to IndexNow in one request to `api.indexnow.org`, which shares it with Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver and the other engines that take part (not Google). It reads `dist/sitemap.xml` when a build is present and the live sitemap otherwise. `-- --only /tools /` sends just those pages, and `-- --dry-run` prints the request without sending it. The key file is `public/<key>.txt`. It is not wired into CI.
