Part of #216.

Change

Add the google-site-verification meta tag to the front page of the book, so the maintainer can verify the site in Google Search Console as a URL-prefix property. It goes in the same html-page-context hook that already handles the front page's title (renamed set_front_page_context()), and only on the front page.

The tag's value is public by design (it is in the page's HTML), so it is fine to commit. Removing it later would unverify the site.

Check

  • The book builds with -W without warnings.
  • The tag is in index.html and not on the other pages, and the front page's title is unchanged.

After merge (maintainer)

  1. When the book is deployed, press "Verify" in Search Console.
  2. Submit sitemap.xml under "Sitemaps".

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The verification meta tag on the front page proves that the maintainer
owns the site, so its search queries and the sitemap can be managed in
Search Console. The tag is public by design, like every meta tag.
