# Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): AI answer, search, and model crawlers
# are explicitly welcome. FEDLIN wants to be discoverable and citable in AI
# search and answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.).
# Bing/Copilot is fed by Bingbot, which is handled by the default wildcard group.
# The named groups below make that intent unambiguous and keep access even if the
# wildcard group is tightened later. To opt out of model *training* while keeping
# answer/search visibility, remove GPTBot, CCBot, Google-Extended, and
# Applebot-Extended from the AI group and leave the rest.
# --- Default: traditional web crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.) ---
