Turn AI crawler access into task paths

Search discovery and AI crawler access are useful only when readers can see what to do next. This issue turns canonical URLs, bot identity, task-based archives, coding-agent review, and transaction facts into an entry-page checklist.

Canonical URLs should unify the entry promise

Align title, description, canonical URL, sitemap, and anchor text around the same reader job instead of letting two similar URLs compete.

Use extensionless `about`, `ai-agent-workflow`, and archive URLs as the primary entry points to inspect.

Automated access needs crawler, monitor, and user-agent labels

Distinguish search crawlers, AI crawlers, monitoring requests, user-authorized agents, and real readers before deciding whether a page should explain, allow, block, or convert.

Keep `cloudflare-verified-bots-ai-crawlers-en` focused on identifying automated request types.

AI audit data should improve reader paths

Use crawler and request data to find discovered pages, then improve titles, FAQs, and resource cards so readers can save and act on them.

Separate the AI search entry in `ai-growth-marketing` from the bot-explanation page.

Launch pages should behave like task checklists

Write launch pages as reader tasks: who it is for, what it solves, how to try it, how to give feedback, and where to go next.

Link `ai-first-users` and `product-hunt-ai-launch` into today's entry-path resource set.
