…mail-protection 404s Cloudflare Email Address Obfuscation rewrites contact emails into /cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#<hex> links. Crawlers strip the fragment and hit the bare URL (404), which Ahrefs Site Audit reported as ~18 broken-link errors across page variants. Root cause already fixed by disabling email_obfuscation on the zone; this Disallow is belt-and-suspenders hygiene (everything under /cdn-cgi/ is Cloudflare-internal).

Disallow: /cdn-cgi/todocs/robots.txt.Why
Ahrefs Site Audit reported ~18 "errors" for taprun.dev. A full self-crawl of all 268 internal URLs showed the site is HTTP-clean (266/268 → 200); the only 404 is
/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection, injected by Cloudflare Email Address Obfuscation rewritinghello@/support@taprun.dev. Crawlers strip the#fragmentand hit the bare URL (404), counted across 14 pages × utm/.htmlvariants ≈ 18 errors. Real users are unaffected (Cloudflare's JS restores the mailto on click) — these are SEO phantom errors.Fix
email_obfuscationzone setting set tooff(verified — live HTML now serves 0/cdn-cgi/links, realmailto:restored).Disallow: /cdn-cgi/is standard hygiene — everything under/cdn-cgi/is Cloudflare-internal and shouldn't be crawled regardless.Merge to deploy via GitHub Pages.
