Follows robots.txt: Not documentedName collides with well-known.dev's WellKnownBot (UA 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; WellKnownBot/0.1; +https://well-known.dev/about/#bot)', obeys only robots groups naming it), but the observed UA format (different casing, listing/claim fields) does not match, so it is not attributed.
