docs(marketing): update battlecard with verified first-mover positioning (GH#1850) (#1864)

Browse Source 
Research team competitive audit confirmed no competitor has documented
programmatic partner org provisioning API equivalent to mol_pk_*. Updated
lead claim from unverified "only platform" to verified "first-mover" /
"first agent platform" framing for legal defensibility. Resolves the
VERIFICATION REQUIRED warning blocks in the battlecard.

**Feature:** `mol_pk_*` — partner-scoped org provisioning API key

## Competitive Context

## Positioning Claims
**Lead claim:** "Molecule AI is the only agent platform with a first-class partner provisioning API. `mol_pk_*` keys let you build agent marketplaces, CI/CD integrations, and white-label platforms on top of Molecule AI — without a browser session."
**Lead claim:** ✅ VERIFIED (Research team audit, 2026-04-23) — "Molecule AI is the **first** agent platform with a first-class partner provisioning API — letting marketplaces, CI/CD pipelines, and automation platforms create and manage Molecule AI orgs via API, without a browser session."
> **Rationale:** Competitive Intel audited LangGraph Cloud, CrewAI, Azure AI Foundry, Dify, Flowise, and n8n. None have a documented programmatic partner org provisioning API equivalent to `mol_pk_*`. Use **"first-mover"** framing (not "only") for legal defensibility — a competitor could launch tomorrow.
**Supporting claims:**
1. **Org-scoped by design** — `mol_pk_*` keys cannot escape their org boundary. Compromised keys neutralize with one API call.

**Risks to monitor:**
- AWS/GCP/Azure publish their own partner/OEM programs → Phase 34 becomes table stakes faster
- CrewAI ships partner API → first-mover advantage closes
- CrewAI ships partner API → first-mover window closes; update claim to "pioneered" framing

## Language to Avoid
- Do not claim "only platform with partner API" unless verified (check CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen GitHub)
- ~~Do not claim "only platform with partner API" unless verified~~ — **RESOLVED:** Use "first-mover" / "first agent platform" language. Do NOT use "only" (legal risk if competitor ships).
- Do not mention specific pricing tiers until PM confirms
- Do not promise marketplace billing integration until PM confirms

## Phase 30 Linkage
Phase 30 shipped `mol_ws_*` (per-workspace auth tokens). Phase 34 extends to `mol_pk_*` (partner/platform-level keys). Battlecard cross-sell: "Phase 30 workspace isolation + Phase 34 partner scoping — the only platform with both."
