# ── POLICY (decided 2026-09-29): AEO ON, SCRAPING OFF ───────────────────────
# Search engines and AI assistants, including AI crawlers, may read and cite
# the public marketing pages: home, about, blog, connector, download and the
# legal pages. That is what answer-engine optimisation (AEO) needs.
#
# No crawler may read the booking funnel or the API. Those pages are
# per-session, and /api/ is the live fare-search surface.
#
# ── MAINTENANCE NOTES (read before editing) ─────────────────────────────────
#
# 1. ONE GROUP FOR EVERYONE, ON PURPOSE. A crawler obeys only the MOST
#    SPECIFIC group naming it. Adding "User-agent: GPTBot / Allow: /" would
#    let GPTBot ignore every Disallow below, including /api/. If a bot ever
#    needs its own group, copy all of these Disallow lines into it.
#    GPTBot, ClaudeBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot,
#    PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot, Amazonbot,
#    Googlebot, Bingbot and the rest all fall under "User-agent: *".
#
# 2. NEVER add "Disallow: /assets/". This is a client-rendered SPA: crawlers
#    must fetch and run /assets/index-*.js to see any content at all.
#
# 3. This file is a REQUEST, not a control. The API enforces its own rules
#    whatever this file says: crawler and scripting-tool user agents get 403
#    on /api/*, fare routes need browser headers, and each address is
#    rate-limited (functions/_shared/abuseGuard.ts). The Cloudflare WAF
#    rate-limiting rule is the edge layer (docs/hosting.md).
#
# 4. The Terms of Use (/terms-of-use, "Reservation of Rights") still reserve
#    text-and-data-mining and AI-training rights. That text is owned by
#    legal/management, and keeping it consistent with this file is their call.
