DESCRIBE YOUR PR

This PR addresses some of the issue found here: https://www.mintlify.com/score/sentry

These updates to robots.txt add AI bot rules and content signals to help agents better navigate our docs.

More on content signals: https://contentsignals.org/

Some details of this change:

  • All bots get Allow: / — appropriate for public documentation
  • The wildcard User-agent: * block now also has an explicit Allow: /
    (previously it had no rule at all, which is technically ambiguous)
  • If we ever wants to block a specific crawler, it's a one-line change to Disallow: /.
  • isDeveloperDocs is now evaluated at module load time rather than inside the
    handler, which is fine since it's a build-time env var

LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.
