Description
Today when googling for something Google returned a clojurians-log-internal URL. This bypasses CloudFlare, going to the server directly.
We have `canonical` meta tags on our pages, but somehow Google is still indexing the wrong URL.
Not sure what else we can do about this, but some ideas
- serve a more aggressive `robots.txt` when accessed via -internal
- redirect from internal to the canonical URL if it looks like a search engine crawler
- register the internal domain as well in google search console, maybe that way we get some control over it

Research direction
The issue names canonical meta tags and proposes robots.txt, crawler-specific redirects, and Google Search Console, but no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the page URL generation, canonical metadata, and robots handling; done means internal URLs are no longer indexed while canonical public URLs continue to work.
