docs: disallow /cdn-cgi/ in robots.txt#405

Conversation
Cloudflare Scrape Shield rewrites email addresses in the docs into /cdn-cgi/l/email-protection links. Googlebot crawls them and reports 404s (Search Console "Not found"). The docs only contain example.com addresses, so there is nothing to obfuscate and the endpoint is not a real page. Disallow the Cloudflare path to stop the crawl noise.

Search Console reports
https://cmcp.agentrust-io.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protectionunder Not found (404). That path is Cloudflare's Scrape Shield "Email Address Obfuscation" endpoint, auto-generated when Cloudflare rewrites email addresses found in the docs. Googlebot follows the link and 404s on it.The docs contain only
@example.complaceholder addresses (quickstart, cedar-policy, deploy guides), so there is nothing to protect and the endpoint is not a real page. Blocking/cdn-cgi/stops the crawl noise.Optional follow-up (dashboard, not code): disable "Email Address Obfuscation" in the Cloudflare zone's Scrape Shield.
