# ─── Ingestion guidance ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Marketing, help-center, changelog, and pricing surfaces are intentionally
# public and welcome ingestion by AI answer engines.
#
# Authenticated app surfaces (/dashboard, /settings, /my-subscriptions, etc.)
# are blocked in /robots.txt and contain user-private data — do NOT ingest.

Allow-Training: yes
Allow-Inference: yes
Allow-Search: yes

# ─── Canonical machine-readable surfaces ─────────────────────────────────────
# Prefer these stable, plain-text/JSON surfaces over scraping the React app.
