Marking as submitted

startupkit_checklist_progress (or PUT /v1/checklist/progress) is also the submission state used by startupkit_directories: done means submitted. Marking done requires notes to be exactly the public listing URL (a single https://… link to the published page, no extra text) on the target's own domain — and when the catalog defines a listingPattern for that target (e.g. alternativeto.net/software/*), the URL must match it. It's what the dashboard renders as the proof link, so a done without a clean URL 400s.
