# All crawlers — allow everything except internal config files

# /assets/ must stay crawlable. Vite emits every CSS and JS bundle
# there (see the hashed /assets/{chunks,entries,static}/ paths in any
# page's HTML), and Google needs them to render the page. Blocking it
# is the documented "don't block CSS/JS" mistake — it costs rendering,
# mobile-friendliness and any client-rendered content, and it bought us
# nothing since the bundles carry no crawlable URLs of their own.
