A robots.txt with no agent-specific rules produces no result, and silence is not the same as allowed. A refused or unreachable check says nothing about the site's rules.
Evidence levels: Our Check is a direct read of the site's robots.txt, Company Document is confirmed by a quote, News Report is reported by a reputable outlet, and Unverified Lead never sets a verdict. Methodology v2.
