# ✅ Block API endpoints — these return JSON/403 and waste crawl budget
Disallow: /api/
# ✅ Block Satellite-Eye proxy endpoints (/t/<hex>, /g/<hex>) — ephemeral, randomised
# tile (GIBS/Maxar/Landsat/S2) + geocoding proxies that rotate per session, so crawlers
# only ever hit stale tokens → 404. Not content. The map's own browser fetches are
# unaffected (robots governs crawlers only). GSC 2026-07-31: surfaced as "Not found (404)".

# ✅ Block query-parameter variants that create canonical duplicates
# These are the SPA globe loaded with client-side state — not indexable content
Disallow: /*?sat=
Disallow: /*?filter=
Disallow: /*?sat_group=
Disallow: /*?highlight=
# ✅ Block ?group= and ?focus= globe state parameters (client-side operator/event views)
# GSC: "Alternate page with proper canonical tag" — /?group=hulianwang, /?focus=shakti etc.
Disallow: /*?group=
Disallow: /*?focus=
# ✅ Block embed parameter variants (used for iframed widgets on third-party sites)
# These serve the same content as the canonical page and waste crawl budget
# GSC: "Alternate page with proper canonical tag" — 713 pages (primary cause)
Disallow: /*?embed=
Disallow: /*?embed
# ✅ Block blog category filter pages (client-side filter, not distinct content)
# GSC: contributes to "Alternate page with proper canonical tag" count
Disallow: /blog?category=
Disallow: /blog?category
# ✅ Blog TAG pages are intentionally CRAWLABLE — do NOT re-block.
# They serve <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">, so letting Googlebot crawl
# them is the ONLY way the noindex is honored: the page is dropped from the index but its
# links are still followed. Re-blocking hides the noindex and strands them as
# "Indexed, though blocked by robots.txt" (GSC 2026-08-17: 88 such tag URLs). The tag set
# is finite (curated), so crawl-budget cost is negligible. Category pages stay blocked below
# (they emit index,follow — blocking them prevents thin filtered-view duplicates indexing).
# ✅ Block blog search results (dynamic, noindex — not distinct indexable content)
Disallow: /blog?q=
Disallow: /blog?q
# ✅ Block satellite directory search parameter (client-side search, not distinct content)
Disallow: /satellite-directory?q=
Disallow: /satellite-directory?q
# ✅ Block library search parameter (prevents crawling of SearchAction template URL)
# GSC: /library?q={search_term_string} being crawled from structured data template
Disallow: /library?q=
Disallow: /library?q
# ✅ Block locale prefixes that have NO published translations.
# ⚠️ MAINTENANCE: when a language goes live, REMOVE its line here. A live locale
# left in this list is submitted in sitemap.xml (with hreflang) and then blocked
# from crawling — the pages can never be indexed and the hreflang cluster breaks.
# /ja/ and /es/ were removed 2026-07-29 (pilot went live 2026-07-28).
# /de/ removed 2026-08-17 — DE pilot is live.
# /pt/ and /fr/ removed 2026-08-17 — full i18n rollout went live (de/it/fr/pt/pl/cs/ro/hu,
# 11 pages each). it/cs/ro/hu were never listed here, so they were already crawlable.
# Only genuinely-untranslated locale prefixes remain blocked below.
