# RESOLVED 2026-08-04 — the orphaned first-generation blog system (blog/posts/
# + blog/post.php) has been DELETED, so there is nothing left to disallow.
# Twelve of its thirteen posts duplicated articles in articles.php, two by exact
# slug. The one unique topic (PDF password protection) was rewritten into
# articles.php rather than lost.

# Noindex placeholder tools still served (canonical page not built yet).
# NOTE: retired tools are NOT listed here — they 301-redirect, and blocking a
# redirect would stop Google from seeing it. Let bots follow those redirects.
