Docs: replace AD-reset recipe with realistic Zerto failover walkthrough
The AD password reset endpoint was a poor fit for what people actually need this server for. Replaced with a realistic Zerto post-failover example that's much closer to the project's purpose: - Update DNS A records for failed-over hostnames - Wait for the VM to come up at the DR site - PowerShell-remote into the VM and check / start critical services - Notify Teams with the result The flagship pattern is now: Zerto post-script (curl, fire-and-forget) calls an Async webhook endpoint -> 202 in milliseconds -> Zerto's failover sequence is never blocked. The server runs the actual work in the background, with full output captured in the daily log. A ready-to-use Zerto-side script ships at scripts/examples/zerto-post-failover.ps1 - pure curl.exe (no PowerShell modules), reads the bearer token from a file the ZVM service account can read. The installer now bundles scripts/examples/ alongside docs/ so the example is also available locally at C:\Program Files\WebhookServer\scripts\examples\. Removed: docs/recipes/ad-password-reset.md. Updated: docs/README.md, README.md, the recipe content itself. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
