insights: coming-soon page; block AI training crawlers; fix stale e2e
- /insights/ is a reader-facing Coming soon page; developer cards removed
- robots.txt: Disallow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot,
  Applebot-Extended, meta-externalagent, Bytespider. Search and AI
  answer crawlers stay allowed. Corrects the old Google-Extended
