The missing disclosure is "I'm the author of the Caddy web server". I'm not sure why you would do it halfway.

Because it's distracting, honestly. Anyone could say "Caddy does this" and they would objectively be correct. The point is about ACME client features and giving an objectively true example.

Then don't put the disclosure at all, it's just weird to do the "distracting" part but not give the information.

Especially if their next comment is a reply to someone else and states "Mine is the gold standard, here's proof".

Just make the disclosure clear but short if the comment is a throwaway, or don't mention your own service, otherwise it's a race to the bottom.
