# AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended,
# CCBot, cohere-ai, DuckAssistBot, YouBot, MistralAI-User) are welcome and governed
# by the rules below — no per-bot group so the Disallow list applies to them too.
# (2026-08-10 fix: per-bot groups with only "Allow: /" made these bots skip every
# Disallow rule, letting them crawl cart.php redirect chains and login pages.)
