# Virtova robots.txt — explicit allow-list for AI search and traditional search.
#
# We want virtova.co to be cited by AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude,
# Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Bing Copilot, etc.) and by
# traditional search. Every crawler below is explicitly allowed.
#
# IMPORTANT: this file overrides Cloudflare's "Managed Content" robots
# defaults. If Cloudflare's managed robots.txt is also active in the
# dashboard (Security → Bots → AI bot policy), disable it there so the
# version below is the authoritative response.
#
# See /llms.txt for a curated machine-readable entry point.
