+**The dev server says where it is — read it, never assume a port.** `uniweb dev` takes a free port and, once the server listens, prints `Serving <site> at <url>`. The usual port may be another project's server, and reviewing that page reports success on the wrong site. Run `uniweb dev` in the background when you need your shell back: `uniweb dev --status` prints the address later, a second `uniweb dev` points at the running server instead of starting another, and `uniweb dev --stop` stops it when you are done. They know the server `uniweb dev` started, not one you start with `vite` or `npm run dev` inside the site. Pass `--port <n>` only when a port is required: you get that one or an error, never another.

 **A local folder for a mounted route should use `folder.yml`, not `page.yml`.** The filename is how you say what the folder holds — `page.yml` for a page built from sections, `folder.yml` for a folder of pages — and for a mount that answer also decides how the mounted tree is read. A `page.yml` stub over a mounted folder of pages says "sections", and top-level markdown in the mounted repo collapses into one page instead of becoming pages of its own. Keep `layout:`, `title:` and SEO in that stub; the mounted repo's own `folder.yml` supplies its ordering and title where the stub is silent.

+**SEO & social cards:** set site-wide defaults in `site.yml`; any page overrides per-field in `page.yml` (page wins, site fills gaps). Each page's static `<head>` carries its own tags — Open Graph, Twitter Card, canonical, robots, and hreflang on a multilingual site — so shares and crawlers see them without running JS. The social `image` is the field most worth setting once at site level; the site's `description` is the home page's alone. These tags are the framework's: a `head.html` tag of the same name is replaced.

 # site.yml
 keywords: [components, react, cms]
 seo:

   image: /og-default.png

 ```
 
+**Where the site lives — every absolute URL is made on it:** a page's canonical and `og:url`, its social image, its sitemap entry, the links in `llms.txt`. It is the site's origin plus its base path, and whoever serves the site states it: the GitHub Pages workflow `uniweb add ci --host=github-pages` writes asks GitHub; Netlify and Vercel state their production URL during the build; on any other static host, set `seo.origin` — a scheme and a host, `https://acme.com`, never with a path (a path is the site's `base:`; `seo.origin: https://user.github.io/repo` is refused). `seo.baseUrl` is retired, and refused. With no address, pages state no canonical, no `sitemap.xml` is written, and `llms.txt` links are root-relative — `uniweb doctor` says when that is so, and how to fix it for your host.
+
 **Localized URLs:** on a multilingual site (`languages:` in site.yml), `slug: { <lang>: <segment> }` gives a page a native URL segment per language; the folder name stays the canonical route. Nested folders compose automatically, and localized URLs flow through navigation, the language switcher, and the sitemap. See Part 5 for the translation workflow.
 
 **Knowledge pages — content for an AI agent, not for a visitor.** `knowledge: true` in a `page.yml` or `folder.yml` marks a page as agent-only: it is **never rendered** — no route, no HTML — and it cascades to the whole subtree by route prefix, so one marker on `pages/kb/` covers everything under it and `/kb` never claims `/kbase`. Write plain markdown; a section `type:` there never selects a component, because nothing renders these pages.

 **What's excluded, and it's deliberate:** `seo.noindex` pages, `hidden` pages, `_`-prefixed drafts, and a parametric page's URL pattern (`/blog/:slug`). An index *describes* pages rather than merely listing them, so an unlinked page would become both discoverable and summarized — which is why these exclusions are load-bearing rather than tidy-up. `noindex` or `hidden` on a **folder** takes the whole branch with it.
