# The site is not finished and is not meant to be found yet, so nothing here
# is offered to a crawler. Revisit this file at launch: it is the whole SEO
# policy, and leaving it as it stands would keep the finished product out of
# every search index.
#
# Why this file lives in frontend/public/ rather than in the backend:
# the gateway routes only /api/ to CodeIgniter, and everything else to the
# frontend container, whose `try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html` answered
# /robots.txt with the React shell because no such file existed. Vite copies
# public/ into dist/ verbatim, so this is a real file on disk and try_files
# finds it before the SPA fallback. backend/public/robots.txt is CodeIgniter
# scaffolding and has never been reachable over HTTP.
#
# A crawler that ignores this is stopped by the HTTP Basic Auth in front of
# the site, not by this file. Robots exclusion is a request, not a control.
