# Hark Tech — robots.txt
#
# Public site is fully open to search and answer-engine crawlers. A handful
# of paths (admin, APIs, per-customer tracking pages, conversion pages)
# are explicitly excluded from indexing.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin
Disallow: /admin/
# Public, licence-filtered physical-product feed. Keep the rest of /api closed.
Allow: /api/products.csv
# Public catalogue images used on product pages and in the Merchant feed.
Allow: /api/model-image/
# Published case-study hero images are public page and social-preview assets.
Allow: /api/case-studies/*/hero$
Disallow: /api/
Disallow: /track/
Disallow: /thank-you.html
Disallow: /payment-received.html

# Search and answer-engine crawlers are welcome on every path not excluded
# above. Do not add crawler-specific `Allow: /` groups here: a named group
# replaces, rather than inherits, the wildcard rules and would reopen the
# operational paths to that crawler.
