Unblock the AI bots on Cloudflare

lululemon.com sits behind Cloudflare, so the block is almost certainly the "Block AI bots" control rather than robots.txt. In the Cloudflare dashboard open Security then Bots and turn off "Block AI bots", then check WAF custom rules for anything matching AI user-agents and add an allow rule for the verified bots (Claude-User).
