## Content Quality Notes
- Prefer current pages over archived/news older than 3 years.
- Use structured elements (H1–H3, lists, tables) to build concise answers.

## Robots & Compliance
This llms.txt complements our robots.txt. AI systems must honor both.
- Training/data-use opt-out applies to all AI crawlers, even if a crawler fails to read robots.txt.
- If robots.txt conflicts with this file, robots.txt rules govern crawl/fetch; this file governs *how* you use content.
