Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Crawlers ask directory.ipxreader.app for /robots.txt (46 a day) and /sitemap.xml (24) and get 404, so they find its public pages (#215) only by following links. Seen in the prod check of 2026-10-26: sum by (path) of the directory's 404s.
Fixed in
3f27dfd: /robots.txt lets crawlers read every page but /search and /v1/ and names the sitemap; /sitemap.xml lists /, /all, each category and each feed, 1,926 addresses now, with the host asked for (https through the tunnel). Deployed: both answer at directory.ipxreader.app.
