robots.txt: AI-bot allowlist + Sitemap
robots.txt is a small text file at the root of your site that tells visiting bots what they may read; this fix rewrites it to explicitly welcome the AI crawlers and point them to your sitemap.
Why AI engines read this
If that file accidentally blocks AI crawlers, they never read your site at all, so welcoming them is the basic permission slip that lets you show up in AI answers.
How to tell it applies to you
robots.txt is missing, a Disallow blocks an AI crawler, or there's no Sitemap: directive.
