The GEO audit identified that the docs site lacked explicit AI crawler permissions in robots.txt, reducing discoverability and citation potential for AI engines. The file already existed with most required bots; Applebot-Extended was the only missing entry from the audit's recommended set.

Changes

  • docs/public/robots.txt: Added Applebot-Extended Allow: / rule alongside the existing entries for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and others.

Thanks for this robots.txt update! 🤖 The addition of Applebot-Extended to the AI crawler allow list is well-targeted and directly addresses the GEO audit finding. The change is focused, minimal, and well-documented.

This looks ready for review once the draft status is removed. The static config change is appropriate for this type of infrastructure improvement — no tests are needed here.

Great work on improving docs site discoverability for AI crawlers!
