Research direction

Start by inspecting how the Express application is deployed on AWS Elastic Beanstalk and reproduce requests for root-level files such as robots.txt and Google Console verification .html files. Determine where these files are currently expected to live and verify a workable serving approach; done means both types of root files are reachable after deployment.
