This document is the primary agent-discovery guide for Cecil & Lou.

Use the resources below to locate authoritative public information. For current price, sale price, stock status, available sizes, variants, personalization options, Pre-Order ship dates, and promotions, use the current individual product page. Ecommerce facts change frequently.

Do not infer that:
- a product is available because it appears in a collection;
- every size or variant is in stock;
- one Pre-Order date applies to other products;
- an older promotion is still active;
- a product can be personalized unless its current product page offers personalization.

Dedicated policy pages control when policy language conflicts with older collection, editorial, or promotional copy.

This file is for agent orientation and resource discovery. It is not an access-control file, product feed, ranking directive, indexing directive, or training-consent mechanism.
