# ===========================================
# snapcraft.io robots.txt
# Strategy:
#   - Block private/transactional/search paths for all crawlers.
#   - Keep every public page crawlable.
#
# Two snapcraft-specific quirks drive the rule shapes below:
#   1. Snap detail pages live at the root (/<snap-name>), so rules are anchored
#      with $ or a trailing slash to avoid blocking snaps whose name starts
#      with a reserved word (e.g. a snap called "account-manager").
#   2. The publisher dashboard hangs off the same root namespace
#      (/<snap-name>/listing, /metrics, ...), so those are blocked by pattern.
#      The /about/* marketing pages collide with those patterns and are
#      re-allowed explicitly - a longer match wins.
