LMS competitor parity

Web view of the shared competitor feature index used by the iOS and native macOS readiness surfaces. Status means the native catalog has a matching WolfWhale surface, not that the web workflow is production-ready.

Source platforms

Official source links are included so the web readiness view can be checked against current competitor pages.
