# HOW THIS FILE IS SPLIT (2026-07-25 audit)
#
# Disallow and noindex do OPPOSITE jobs and were being used interchangeably. A
# Disallowed URL is never FETCHED, so Googlebot never reads the noindex on it -
# and a URL it can't fetch but has seen linked stays in the index as a
# title-less entry forever. That is exactly what had happened: /login, /signup,
# /stats, /player-card and /locker-room were all Disallowed here AND indexed,
# for a combined 9,441 impressions and 8 clicks over three months. /stats had
# just been given a noindex that could never be read.
#
# So the rule is now:
#   - Want it OUT of the index?  Let it be crawled, serve `noindex` (page
#     metadata). Those routes are listed below for the record, not blocked.
#   - Want it never FETCHED at all? Disallow it. Only endpoints with no
#     rendered page or nothing a crawler should ever touch.
#
# Crawlable-but-noindexed via page metadata (do NOT add these back here):
#   /login /signup /player-card /stats               -> layout.tsx noindex
#   /career and every /career/* surface              -> career/layout.tsx
#   /games/possession/match                          -> match/layout.tsx
#   /b/* /c/* /p/* /player/* /career/match/*         -> per-page metadata
#
# /locker-room and /lr/* are GONE - the feature was deleted 2026-07-27 and
# those URLs now 308 to /career-mode (next.config redirects). They are neither
# noindexed nor blocked, so do not list them in either place.
