/admin is already unlisted (not linked from /, not in the sitemap, Disallow in robots.txt). This makes that request more explicit so search engines and other crawlers should not list it.

  • X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet and Referrer-Policy: no-referrer on the operator HTML (and on an admin host, if configured)
  • No discovery Link header on that page
  • robots.txt also disallows /api/v1/setup, /api/v1/auth/login, and /api/v1/users
  • Client-side noindex meta on /admin (and on an admin host after setup info loads)

The public landing stays indexable.

This does not hide /admin from anyone who knows the URL. It only asks crawlers and other sites not to index or leak it.

/admin was already omitted from the sitemap and disallowed in
robots.txt. Add X-Robots-Tag and Referrer-Policy on the operator
HTML, a noindex meta on that path, and drop discovery Link headers
so other sites and search engines are less likely to list it.
