# Public discovery surfaces are open. Everything gated behind auth, everything
# personal, and everything under /admin is closed — those routes render an empty
# shell to a crawler anyway, so indexing them spends crawl budget to produce
# thin-content pages that drag the whole domain's quality signal down.
