Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.

ordinal-webhooks
Receive Ordinal (tryordinal.com) webhooks — the social-media / LinkedIn content planning, approval and scheduling platform for marketing teams. Use when building an Ordinal webhook receiver, because Ordinal does NOT sign its deliveries: there is no HMAC, no signature header, no signing secret and no timestamp, so do not write a signature verifier. The only authentication is a STATIC custom header you configure yourself via the webhook's `headers` field (e.g. `X-Webhook-Secret`), compared in constant time. Use when handling `post.published`, `post.publish_failed`, `post.created`, `post.approval.requested`, `post.comment.created`, `social_profile.reconnect_needed` or `invite.accepted`, unwrapping the `{ type, data, createdAt }` envelope, or managing webhooks via `POST /api/v1/webhooks`. Not Bitcoin Ordinals/inscriptions, not Ordinal Labs.
