# What AI crawlers may do here. Same syntax as robots.txt, same policy as
# robots.txt and the firewall; the live, measured version is
# https://aboutus.com/bots (and https://dns.pizza/bots for every site we run).
#
# A fetch made for a person in the moment - to answer a question and cite
# the record - is welcome. Bulk collection is not: those crawlers are
# challenged or denied at the firewall, and named here so they can stop
# cleanly instead of retrying.

# Answer engines and user-triggered fetchers: allowed
