# Kept in sync with app/robots.ts. This static file is what Next.js actually
# serves at /robots.txt; the route exists so the two cannot silently drift.
#
# `next` only tells a page which URL to put behind its back link, so
# /jobs/x?next=/companies and /jobs/x are the same document and only the clean
# form belongs in a crawl queue. It was also an unbounded URL space until the
# fix in lib/auth-redirect.ts: 27% of all requests on 2026-08-20 carried a
# nested next chain, most four or five levels deep.
