# Everything here is public documentation for a free, open-source app.
# AI search and assistant bots (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot,
# Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User) fall into this group on purpose:
# they fetch pages to cite them in answers, which is how the site gets found.

# AI crawlers are blocked at the edge, with a WAF skip for the two surfaces
# Training crawlers are blocked at the edge, with a WAF skip for the two surfaces
# built for them: the llms.txt index and the markdown behind every docs page.
# Saying so here spends a crawler's budget on the two paths that answer instead
# of on HTML that will 403. This list is advisory and safe to let drift — the
# WAF is the enforcement, and a crawler missing from it falls back to the group
# above and is stopped at the edge anyway, which is the same answer, just later.
# WAF is the enforcement. Keep it in step with the WAF rule: a search bot listed
# here or matched there disappears from AI answers.
#
# The Allow lines come first on purpose. An RFC 9309 parser takes the longest
# match and doesn't care about order, but a first-match parser reads `Disallow: /`
# and stops there — leading with it denies the two paths this group exists to
# open. The .md line needs `*` and `$`, which are Google extensions: the crawlers
# named here support them, and one that doesn't just won't open the .md files.
