Summary

  • Disallow: /app does prefix matching and silently blocked /apple-touch-icon.png at the site root, which Google needs to index the landing page.
  • Split each SPA-route disallow into /app/ (prefix) and /app$ (exact) — same for /gate — so only the intended routes are excluded. Google and Bing both support the $ end-anchor.

Test plan

  • Deploy, then in Search Console hit "Validate fix" on the indexing issue
  • Confirm https://sinter-3d.com/apple-touch-icon.png passes the robots.txt tester
  • Confirm https://sinter-3d.com/app and /app/... remain disallowed

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Disallow: /app used prefix matching and silently blocked
/apple-touch-icon.png at the site root, preventing Google from
indexing the landing page. Split each disallow into an explicit
prefix (/app/) and end-anchored (/app$) form so only the SPA
routes are excluded.
