# Intent: we WANT AI crawlers to index the marketing site (that's literally
# the product pitch — "get recommended by AI"). Generic search crawlers too.
# What we don't want indexed: the dashboard, onboarding, login, activation,
# and read-only audit result pages — those are per-user and should never
# appear in search results.
