Claude-User questions
How do I know a request came from Claude-User?
Talivia matches the Claude-User User-Agent token and labels the verification confidence explicitly. User-Agent text can be spoofed, so a token match alone is not an identity guarantee.
How can I allow or block Claude-User?
Add a rule for Claude-User in robots.txt and check the provider’s official documentation for behavior. robots.txt expresses crawl preferences; it is not access control or identity verification.
What does Talivia store?
Talivia stores the hostname, sanitized path, method, User-Agent, optional status, classification, and verification result. It does not store page bodies, cookies, authorization headers, query strings, or raw IP addresses.
