A copied site appeared in ChatGPT results for T3 Code downloads. The links on t3.codes used a different URL than the canonical tag on the download page. Crawlers also had no sitemap or structured data linking T3 Code to its official listings.

This PR aligns the canonical URLs, internal links, and sitemap. Vercel is configured to redirect trailing-slash URLs to their slashless form. The home and download pages identify the GitHub repo, App Store, and Google Play listings in their structured data.

It also adds a noindex 404 page, a robots.txt that points to the sitemap, and an llms.txt that lists the official download channels. The new security.txt, the public security policy, and the GitHub security policy all use security@t3.codes, as Mark requested. Theo confirmed that the security team receives and monitors reports sent to this address.

vp run check:changed passes. The marketing build emits all four discovery and policy files. All six sitemap entries match their page’s canonical URL. Both generated application records include the official repo and store listings. The Vercel redirect still needs a check on a deployed copy.

Thanks to @b2bvic for reporting the problem and writing the first three commits on #30902.

Walkthrough

The marketing site adds SEO metadata, crawler-facing files and routes, a custom noindex 404 page, updated security contact details, and slashless URL configuration.

Changes: Marketing site SEO and discovery

Layer / File(s)Summary
SEO metadata and page rendering
apps/marketing/src/lib/seo.ts, apps/marketing/src/layouts/Layout.astro, apps/marketing/src/pages/index.astro, apps/marketing/src/pages/download.astro
SEO helpers define Organization, WebSite, SoftwareApplication, and breadcrumb JSON-LD, plus prioritized sitemap entries. The shared layout renders structured data and supports page-specific schemas and noindex pages. The homepage and download page provide page metadata.
Crawler and security endpoints
apps/marketing/src/pages/sitemap.xml.ts, apps/marketing/src/pages/llms.txt.ts, apps/marketing/src/pages/.well-known/security.txt.ts, apps/marketing/public/robots.txt, .github/SECURITY.md, apps/marketing/src/pages/security-policy.astro
New routes serve a sitemap, llms.txt, and security.txt. robots.txt allows crawling and identifies the sitemap. Security reporting contact details now use the t3.codes address, and the security policy dates are updated.
Slashless URLs and not-found handling
apps/marketing/astro.config.mjs, apps/marketing/vercel.ts, apps/marketing/src/pages/404.astro
Astro and Vercel are configured to use slashless URLs. The custom 404 page uses the shared layout with noindex enabled.

Update the security policy’s dates.

The reporting address changes, but both dates remain 2026-07-15. The policy says revisions will update both dates. Set lastUpdated to the publication date and effectiveDate to when the revised policy takes effect.
