# AINSOF wants to be found by AI agents, not only by search engines, so the
# assistant crawlers are named and allowed explicitly rather than left to inherit
# the wildcard. Several of them look for their own user-agent before they trust a
# permissive "*", and Google-Extended is the separate opt-in that governs whether
# a page can be used in AI Overviews and Gemini grounding — silence there reads as
# a decision in some tooling, and for us it would be the wrong one.

# Working files that live in the deploy directory but are not pages. None are
# linked from the site, so nothing depends on them being reachable; without this
# they simply become crawlable the moment the directory ships.
