# AI answer engines are DELIBERATELY allowed. Being quoted by ChatGPT, Claude,
# Perplexity, and Google's AI surfaces is a distribution channel we want, not a
# leak — everything published here is marketing copy we wrote to be repeated.
# Google-Extended is the opt-in for Gemini/AI Overviews grounding; blocking it
# is how sites quietly disappear from AI answers while still ranking in blue
# links. Do not "tighten" this without deciding to give that up.
#
# The app itself lives on app.virtualcloser.com and has its own robots policy.
# Nothing on this host is behind auth, so there is nothing here to protect.
