Fix stale competitive claims (IIS shipped in M39, target count now 10),
add 47-day operational math as forcing function, add credibility signals
(1554 tests, 97 API operations, CI pipeline), restructure competitive
comparisons by category for scannability, add "What Else Ships Free"
feature surface section, add "Who Should Look Elsewhere" disqualification,
move ownership message to opening paragraph.

M25: After deploying a certificate, the agent probes the live TLS
endpoint and compares SHA-256 fingerprints to verify the correct cert
is being served. Best-effort — failures don't block deployments.
New endpoints: POST /jobs/{id}/verify, GET /jobs/{id}/verification.
Migration 000008 adds verification columns to jobs table.
M26: Traefik target connector (file provider, auto-reload) and Caddy
target connector (dual-mode: admin API hot-reload or file-based).
Both wired into agent dispatch.
Also: restructured README to highlight supported integrations (issuers,
targets, notifiers) earlier, moved API/CLI/MCP sections lower. Updated
all docs (features, connectors, architecture, testing guide, why-certctl)
and fixed integration tests for 18-param RegisterHandlers signature.

Replace verbose bullet-list comparisons with dense single-paragraph
summaries for all 7 competitors. Each paragraph covers what the tool
is, what it lacks vs certctl, and where it leads. 48 lines cut.

README: Remove Contents section (GitHub auto-generates ToC), replace
12-bullet Core capabilities block with link to Feature Inventory,
replace 21-row Database Schema table with one-liner linking to
Architecture Guide. Visitors now hit screenshots ~60 lines sooner.
why-certctl: Remove Feature Summary section (duplicated README and
Feature Inventory content). Competitive comparisons remain as the
focused value of this page.

The detailed prose comparisons in why-certctl.md are sufficient.
Tables were redundant with the per-competitor sections.

README: Replace old 5-column comparison table with 7-competitor table
(certctl, CertKit, CertWarden, Certimate, CZERTAINLY, KeyTalk, cert-manager)
with Free tier row. Remove CertKit from documentation table link text.
Version badge v2.0.4 → v2.0.5, add Why certctl? and Feature Inventory
to docs table, condense ToC, trim Configuration/API/Roadmap sections
with links to detailed docs.
why-certctl.md: Add detailed comparison sections for Certimate (cloud/CDN
focus, no agent, ACME-only), CZERTAINLY (K8s-required microservices,
pluggable connectors, broader vision), and KeyTalk (proprietary, multi-cert-type,
no public docs). Add 14-row summary comparison table covering all 7 competitors.
