Add the X-Robots-Tag: noindex header to documentation served for projects owned by organizations still on the trial plan, so search engines don't index them (to fight spam).

I haven't reviewed it yet, but it's a great idea 👍 |

Spammers sign up for a Business trial and get their content hosted — and then indexed by Google, which is what makes the spam valuable. This removes that incentive by serving
X-Robots-Tag: noindexon all documentation from projects owned by organizations still on the trial plan, extending the existing middleware hook that already does this for pull request previews.An organization counts as "on trial" when its subscription is on the default trial plan price and still in
trialingstatus, exposed asOrganization.objects.on_trial(). An organization trialing a paid plan (e.g. upgraded through the billing portal while inside the trial window) is deliberately treated as not-on-trial, since they've shown payment intent. Once a customer subscribes to a paid plan, the header disappears as cached responses roll over.Things a reviewer should double-check:
noindexheader instead of a disallow-all robots.txt (as delisted/spam projects get) because crawlers must be able to fetch a page to seenoindex— blocking crawling can leave spam URLs indexed as bare links. Happy to add the robots.txt treatment as well if you'd rather have both.EXISTSquery per uncached response on .com (guarded byRTD_ALLOW_ORGANIZATIONS, so Community is unaffected). If the commercial repo has proxito query-count tests that run with organizations enabled, they'll need a +1.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
