chore(seo/geo): allow AI training crawlers in robots.txt
Switch from 'citable-not-trained' to allowing all crawlers, including AI training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, …). Rationale: being in the training corpus lets assistants recommend the editor from memory, not only via live retrieval. Privacy is unaffected — this governs the public landing pages only; user documents are never uploaded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
