# STRANDED-ALLOW v1
# Indexed URLs that were Disallowed while still ranking. Blocking them stops
# Googlebot seeing their 301/404/410, so redirects never consolidate and dead
# URLs never drop out. Allow is longest-match, so these beat the broad
# Disallow rules above. Generated from GSC impressions 2026-08-05.
