Description
Google is indexing pages under the final-review route (e.g., https://queue.rfc-editor.org/final-review/rfc9999/). These pages and the cluster pages under the https://queue.rfc-editor.org/clusters/ should not be indexed. Actually, everything except https://queue.rfc-editor.org/about/ is ephemeral and shouldn't be indexed.

Research direction
Start by tracing the TypeScript entry points for the /final-review/, /clusters/, and /about/ routes and how they expose pages to search engines. Verify the result against the listed URLs: only /about/ should remain indexable, while every other route should be excluded.
