* fix(comparison): correct stale and unsourced claims on comparison pages

- Remove stale "Templates" references from the LangChain page and
  related blog posts (feature was removed platform-wide)
- Re-verify every sourced claim across all comparison-page profiles
  (Sim's own facts and all 20 competitor profiles) against live
  sources; fix dead links, renamed products, outdated figures, and
  claims no longer supported by their citation
- Fix a stale sidebar permissions reference in the enterprise
