# /za/tax-return is the private filing shell, but this bare prefix ALSO swallowed
# the valid public 200 page /za/tax-return-documents/. Anchor to the exact route
# ($) and its children (/) so /za/tax-return-documents stays crawlable.
# NB: $ and * are Google/Bing robots.txt extensions.

# SPA content sitemap (the prerendered /za/ pages, ~8.5k URLs). The legacy
# /za/sitemap-za.xml is retired (now 302s → /404error.php), so it is NOT listed
# here — a dead sitemap in robots triggers a Search Console "couldn't fetch" error.
