Listing audit

2 things worth changing on this listing, 19 passing.

Pinned competitors pass where you do not on license (Cline, Continue - open-source AI code agent) and same version on both (Cline, Roo Code).

Fields as each registry reports them on the latest crawl. The display name is the strongest rank signal we have measured; tags help only on uncontested phrases, and releases, README length and rating have not moved rank. No check here claims a change will.
