# Bulk AI-training and other high-volume crawlers: blocked. These recrawl the
# full ~200k-URL catalog (training corpora, Alexa/Petal search, Meta AI
# fetching), provide little or no referral traffic, and drove serverless costs.
# (Google-Extended / Applebot-Extended are training opt-out tokens only;
# blocking them does not affect Googlebot or Applebot search crawling.)
