Description

In the wild Sitemap directives are overwhelmingly placed at the root of the document and are not associated with a User-agent. Currently Sitemap directives not associated with a User-agent are dropped silently.

Research direction

Start by locating the robots.txt parsing logic that associates directives with User-agent records, then trace how Sitemap directives at the document root are handled. Confirm the expected behavior for root-level Sitemap entries and add coverage showing they are retained rather than silently dropped.
