A robots.txt verdict describes the published rule for the tested path. It does not prove crawling, indexing, training, citations or traffic.

No. Operators can publish separate user-agent tokens for training, search and user-triggered retrieval. Configure each documented token intentionally.
Official source
Consult the operator’s current documentation before publishing a policy change.
