Live alternatives

No active same-category alternatives in the registry yet. The tools index carries everything else that is live.

How this was decided

Not an editorial call. Shutterstock's check failed three syncs in a row, and the 3-miss rule marks it discontinued automatically. If the vendor page comes back, the registry restores it on its own: warn first, then active. Both directions are recorded as events.
