fix(web): let AI search bots crawl the site - #80

Conversation
OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot and Perplexity-User fetch pages to cite them in answers. Blocking them alongside the training crawlers kept the site out of ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity results. They now fall into the open * group; the training crawlers stay blocked except for llms.txt and the docs markdown.

The site did not show up in ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity answers because
