Description

If a pertinent mf2 attribute (p-title, p-summary, e-content) on an entry changes, pings should be re-sent to all targets, not just the ones where URLs changed.

However this should only happen when actual entry content changes and not based purely on the overall content hash (eg nav links, “15 minutes ago” publish times, etc)

Research direction

Start by tracing how Pushl extracts p-title, p-summary, and e-content and how it computes entry and overall content changes before sending pings. Check existing tests around URL changes and content hashes, then define completion as re-pinging all targets only for pertinent entry-content changes while ignoring unrelated hash changes such as navigation links or relative publish times.
