Covers `template-loader.php`, `index.php` fallback, `front-page.php` vs `home.php`, page/single/archive/taxonomy/search/404/attachment templates, `get_template_part()` with `$args`, child-theme override order, `template_include`, the `is_sitemap()` conditional, and why `template_redirect` should not include-and-exit.
