The 2026-10-09 prod release (DataSpaceFrontend run 37926239517, #500) failed api-smoke on test_dev_sends_noindex_header and test_dev_sitemap_is_disabled, and its rollback is waiting for approval.

Cause: both tests sat in test_api_006, which is readonly for the whole file, and had no smoke mark. So only the prod gate ever selected them, and there HOME_URL_DEV is set to https://civicdataspace.in. Their deployed_pr("DataSpaceFrontend#493", site="HOME_URL_DEV") gate kept them skipped until this release brought #493 to prod. Then they asserted noindex on prod, which is correctly indexable.

Fix: move them to test_api_027_dev_noindex.py, marked api, smoke, seo and not readonly.

Check	Result
tests/api -m readonly --collect-only (prod gate)	0 dev tests selected
tests/api -m smoke --collect-only (dev gate)	both selected
027 vs dev	2 passed
027 with HOME_URL_DEV=prod	2 failed (still detects an indexable site)
006 -m readonly as the prod gate runs it	6 passed (prod backend cross-checks skip locally without API_BASE_URL_PROD)

The other failure in that run, test_search_reports_a_source_platform_bucket, was a timing issue: the backend's prod deploy (DataSpaceBackend run 37922161417) was rolling out at the same time, and prod search now returns source_platform. No change needed for it.
