Summary

Update robots.txt to allow training/agent crawlers (ClaudeBot, GPTBot, CCBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider, meta-externalagent, Applebot-Extended) to access documentation paths (/docs/ and /llms.txt) while keeping the rest of the site blocked. This enables agents to discover and read documentation for context during autonomous operations.

Closes #844

Changes

  • Added Allow: /docs/ and Allow: /llms.txt directives before Disallow: / for each of the 7 blocked training crawlers
  • Updated the section comment to reflect the documentation exception
  • Search bots (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Amazonbot) and default User-agent: * remain unchanged
  • Applebot (non-Extended) remains fully allowed as before

Testing

  • Verified the robots.txt follows the correct format: more specific Allow directives before the blanket Disallow: /
  • Secret scan passed
  • make lint passes (pre-commit could not run in sandbox due to network restrictions)

Checklist

  • PR title follows Conventional Commits (correct type, ! for breaking changes)
  • Commits are signed off (DCO) — human and human-directed agent sessions only
  • I wrote this contribution myself and can explain all changes in it

Closes #844

Post-script verification

  • Branch is not main/master (agent/844-robots-txt-allow-docs)
  • Secret scan passed (gitleaks — c887fc47c59d8b87b5282ca44044d2933d30df41..HEAD)
  • PR body secret scan passed (gitleaks — no-git)
  • Pre-commit hooks passed (authoritative run on runner)
  • Tests ran inside sandbox

Add Allow directives for /docs/ and /llms.txt before the blanket
Disallow: / for each blocked training crawler (ClaudeBot, GPTBot,
CCBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider, meta-externalagent,
Applebot-Extended). This lets agents discover and read
documentation content while keeping the rest of the site blocked
for training purposes. Search bots and the default user-agent
rule remain unchanged.

Note: pre-commit could not run in the sandbox (network error).
Manual verification of lint is required.

Closes #844

🔧 Fix agent — iteration 1 (human-triggered)

Investigated the review finding about potentially missing Allow rules for 'sales/example materials'. After verifying the VitePress config (base: '/docs/'), Cloudflare wrangler.toml, and site directory structure, confirmed that ALL documentation and example content is served under /docs/. No additional paths exist on the deployed site for sales or example materials. The existing Allow: /docs/ directive fully satisfies Issue #844's acceptance criteria. No code changes needed.

Disagreed (1):

  1. scope-incomplete: PR only allows /docs/ and /llms.txt but Issue Update robots.txt to enable agent discovery of documentation and examples #844 mentions sales/example materials: Verified against the site configuration. The VitePress documentation site (website/.vitepress/config.ts) uses base: '/docs/', meaning ALL documentation content — including guides, agents, examples, experiments, normative specs, and any 'sales/example materials' — is served exclusively under the /docs/ path. There is no separate /examples/, /sales/, or other top-level content path on the deployed Cloudflare site. The only non-docs paths are /api/* (OAuth worker) and root (admin SPA). The llms.txt file's links all point to fullsend.sh/docs/... paths, confirming this. Therefore, Allow: /docs/ already covers all documentation and example content referenced in Issue Update robots.txt to enable agent discovery of documentation and examples #844's acceptance criteria. No additional Allow rules are needed.

Tests: passed
