Noindexed threads should not be appearing ion the sitemap - if they do something is very wrong.

Ok. So, my mistake. Looks like I had an outdated sitemap. Search engine indexing excluded threads do not appear in sitemap so that's nice.
Just needed some guidance on how can I also filter them out from ad codes. I am already filtering ad code for some nodes using code provided in relevant threads here. Would also like to filter out threads blocked from indexing. Thanks!
The code for nodes:

Yes it added individual thread noindexing, but was there previously only under thread criteria and I'm fairly sure they were not included in sitemap so should be likewise for manually noidexed now with 2.3

Also noticed something else today lol. Tags that are only on threads that are not public also appear in sitemap if included. Enabled tags few days ago and noticed a lot of 404 reports in search console. This seems to be the reason.
Not sure if I should file it as a bug!
