# /book/* and /batphone are deliberately NOT disallowed here.
#
# They must stay out of the search index, and they do - every page in the book
# section plus /batphone serves <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">
# (see templates/_2026/partials/_head.twig). Blocking them here as well was
# self-defeating: a crawler that is not allowed to fetch a page can never read
# the noindex on it, so the block prevented the very deindexing it was meant to
# achieve. Google's own guidance is explicit - for noindex to work the page must
# NOT be blocked by robots.txt. Removed 12 August 2026.
#
# The old rule was `Disallow: /batphone/` with a trailing slash, which did not
# match the real URL `/batphone` in any case.
#
# If you ever need a page kept out of search: give it noindex and leave it
# crawlable. Only use Disallow for things that must not be FETCHED at all
# (the control panel, asset internals, /demo/).
#
# /demo/ is the one place that carries BOTH: the Disallow above stops crawlers
# fetching client prototypes, and every HTML page under /demo/ also serves
# <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> as a backstop for crawlers
# that ignore robots.txt. Adding a page under /demo/? Give it that meta tag
# (pixelforce-canvas output carries it already). The pairing is safe only
# because no /demo/ URL has ever been indexed - verified with GSC URL
# Inspection on 13 October 2026. If one ever shows up in Search Console, lift
# the Disallow until Google has recrawled it and read the noindex.
#
# The rules sit in the `*` group, which covers AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot,
# Google-Extended and the rest). A crawler with its OWN User-agent group ignores
# the `*` group entirely, so any group added here must repeat Disallow: /demo/.
