# are intentionally NOT Disallowed so crawlers can READ their <meta robots="noindex"> and fully
# drop them. A Disallow only blocks crawl while still permitting bare URL-only SERP listings —
# undesirable especially for /unsubscribe, whose URL carries an email address. /verify-email stays
# Disallowed: it 422s without a token and is only ever linked from email, never from the web.
