#           augmented generation, grounding, or other real-time taking of content for
#           generative AI search answers).
# ai-train: training or fine-tuning AI models.
# use:      how AI systems may consume the content (immediate, reference, or full).

# Policy: maximum AI visibility. Every crawler — search-time retrieval,
# training, and user-triggered fetches — is allowed across the entire site.
# There are no admin/cart/checkout/account areas or faceted-search parameters
# on this site, so there is nothing to disallow.

# Note: robots.txt controls crawling only, not indexing. Per-page indexing
