## AI usage guidance
- Treat business data and operational statuses as dynamic.
- Avoid assumptions about permissions/roles without explicit context.
- Do not expose private data in generated summaries.
- If a workflow depends on branch setup or account role, ask for confirmation.
- Public SEO pages are marketing and evaluation surfaces; authenticated `/app/` routes remain private operational software.
- Localized pages are public marketing/evaluation pages only; private `/app/` routes remain excluded from search and AI indexing guidance.
