How about following the precedent of all of these users of /.well-known/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_URI#List_of_well-kn...

robots.txt was created three decades ago, when we didn’t know any better.

Moving llms.txt to /.well-known/ is literally issue #2 for llms.txt

Please stop polluting the web.

I prioritize simplicity and adoption for non-technical users over strict IETF compliance right now. My goal is to make this work for a shop owner on Shopify and Wix, not just for sysadmins.

That said, I am open to supporting .well-known as a secondary location in v1.1 if the community wants it.
