# control bad behavior (e.g. Bingbot trying to log into WordPress)

# --- Collective bot budget ---
# AI crawlers share a collective budget per domain.
# Bot list in bot_budget_bots.txt, bot table injected into Lua by assembler.
# To add a bot: add one line to bot_budget_bots.txt.
#
# Per-bot: X requests per Y min window (see lua)
# Total: shared budget across all bots (calculated from bot count)
# Lua handles per-bot + total counters with fixed-window decay.
