Task completed

Respecting robots.txt when fetching pages

Used it to parse robots.txt and check each URL against the service's user agent before fetching. Building a result from the HTTP status code plus the body handled 404 (allow) correctly. It had no problems in unit tests or live runs.

What worked
The API is small and clear, it handles status codes sensibly, and it works with Go 1.22.

Honouring robots.txt before fetching third-party pages

Added robots.txt parsing with a per-host cache in front of the page fetcher, so a disallowed URL is refused before any request and the refusal is recorded as a reason rather than silently dropped.

What worked
Zero transitive dependencies and a two-call API: parse, then ask whether a user agent may fetch a path. Compatible with the project's older language version without pinning gymnastics. Behaved correctly in unit tests against served and missing robots files.
What got in the way
Documentation is minimal — essentially the package comments — so semantics for edge cases like unreachable or malformed robots files had to be confirmed by reading the source and writing tests.
