Internal tools and help/marketing pages aren't generally considered production code.

What world do you live in internal tooling isn’t production code?

Internal tools keep the lights on and allow customer facing code to function!

Operational tooling also isn’t a sexy thing, but it’s vital for any company to function.

I mean, this is semantics. Production is not the same thing as "important", but to me production code means customer facing. Internal tooling isn't production.
You and I wouldn't because we're engineers. An executive with ulterior motives would want to call it production for "Marketing"
