A new plugin called @enhance/arc-plugin-block-bots has been introduced for Enhance applications to block AI bots using a customizable `robots.txt` file. This plugin adds a `/robots.txt` route to your application to specify which user agents are disallowed from accessing your site. The plugin automatically updates the `robots.txt` file daily by checking a maintained list of AI bots. Future updates may include better bot control using middleware or Amazon WAF.
