- infoTraining blocked, citation allowedTraining crawlers are refused while search and assistant fetches get through. This is the common "cite me, don't train on me" posture.
- mediumBot-management challenge served to crawlersMeta-ExternalAgent received an interstitial instead of the page. A robots.txt rule is an honest block. A challenge hides the page without saying so.
- lowNo llms.txtOptional, but a short curated index at /llms.txt is the cheapest way to tell assistants what matters on this site.
- infoGoogle-Extended not listedYou block other training crawlers but Gemini training via Google-Extended is still allowed. Add it to the same group if the policy is meant to be even-handed.
