# Public profile pages (/@handle, /u/handle, /user/handle — served by apps/web, not the landing) are
# LINKABLE but NOT INDEXABLE: profile SEO is worth close to nothing, while publishing users' full
# libraries into a search index is a one-way door on their expectations (project/architecture/sharing.md §3.6).
#
# That is enforced by `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">` on the pages themselves, and there is
# deliberately NO `Disallow` here to match. Two reasons, both of which a Disallow would get wrong:
#   1. A disallowed URL can still be indexed URL-only — the crawler never fetches the page, so it
#      never sees the noindex. Allowing the crawl is what actually keeps profiles out of the index.
#   2. Unfurl bots (X, Facebook, Slack, iMessage) consult robots.txt too. Blocking them would kill the
#      link previews that are the entire point of sharing a profile.
# Title and episode pages are indexable on purpose and are covered by the Allow above.
