# Policy: everything on this host is public and crawlable — by search engines and
# AI crawlers alike. Nothing here is private. The authenticated app lives on
# app.mailkite.dev, which disallows crawling in its own robots.txt; that is the
# only place a crawl block belongs.
#
# AI content signals (EU Directive 2019/790 Art. 4):
#   search=yes   — building a search index is permitted
#   ai-input=yes — content may be used to ground AI-generated answers (RAG)
#   ai-train=no  — express reservation of rights against training / fine-tuning
#
# ai-train=no is a reservation of rights, NOT a crawl block. We want to be cited
# by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and AI Overviews, so we do not gate the crawlers
# that produce those citations. Blocking GPTBot/ClaudeBot/CCBot would forfeit the
# citation surface without protecting anything — the content is public either way.
