robots.txt
sstatic comes with a built-in robots.txt file that is designed to prevent search engines and AI systems from indexing the content of your sstatic instance.
IMPORTANT
The robots.txt file does not guarantee that web crawlers will repsect its rules.
This file is served at the root path on any host, and ignores SSTATIC_*_HOST and SSTATIC_*_PREFIX variables.
The robots.txt file contains the following text:

# corresponding use.
# (c) If the website operator does not include a Content-Signal for a

# augmented generation, grounding, or other real-time taking of content for
# generative AI search answers).
