Richer API for agents
Research agents whose crawlers honor RFC 9309 Allow rules can also use the filterable JSON API at /api/agents/context, /api/agents/meta, and /api/agents/exclusion. The /data/*.json files above are the canonical surface for everything else, plus /feed.xml for updates and /llms-full.txt for a full page index.
