# AI answer-engine crawlers — explicitly welcomed so this site can be cited (AEO). These drive
# citations in ChatGPT (search + browse), Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Apple AI.
# Named explicitly (not just the wildcard) so a crawler that honors its own UA block still gets Allow.

# To opt a client OUT of AI training/answers without hurting SEO, change that crawler's Allow line to
# Disallow (e.g. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended). Blocking these does NOT
