## Agent guidance for gated content

Sites now ship a `.claude/rules/private-collections.md` context file so the AI agent working in your project knows what's possible — and what isn't — for gated content:

- **`private = true`** collections build their hub + pages but stay out of every discovery surface (sitemap, llms.txt, search, feeds, homepage, tags) and carry `noindex, nofollow`.
- **`private` does not lock access.** It only hides content from discovery — the HTML is still publicly fetchable. seite has no Cloudflare Access integration; gating who can load the pages is a separate step you configure (Cloudflare Access / Zero Trust, HTTP auth, etc.).
- **Subdomain hubs** render the collection's own index template, and the **custom-domain attach** on a subdomain's Pages project is a manual one-time step (seite only auto-attaches the main site's domain).

New sites get the rule from `seite init`; existing sites get it on `seite upgrade`.

## Docs

- [Deployment](/docs/deployment) gains "Custom domain for a subdomain" and "Gating a subdomain behind Cloudflare Access" sections.
- [Configuration](/docs/configuration) already warns that `private` is not access control — now cross-referenced from the deploy guide.
