Clarity data shows bots (Apple, OpenAI, Google) spending ~200 requests/week on /mintlify-assets/_next/static/ JS/CSS chunks. These have zero SEO value. Added custom robots.txt that blocks /mintlify-assets/ while keeping the existing /cdn-cgi/ block and sitemap reference. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
