robots.txt disallows the site for * / Googlebot / Bingbot

Why it matters

Disallow: / blocks crawling entirely, which removes the site from Google, from Bing (and so Copilot and ChatGPT's search partner), and from AI answers. Usually a preview config leaking to production. This is a scoring gate.

How to fix it

Only return Disallow: / on non-production deployments (check VERCEL_ENV).
