[godhiraj-code]

Changes

• README: problem-first opening that names the real errors (StaleElementReferenceException, ElementClickInterceptedException, NoSuchElementException, time.sleep). It notes that animation and layout waits only apply in strict mode, to match the code.
• README: PyPI version, Python versions and license badges next to the existing CI badge. Added a "Learn more" line linking both blog posts and the project page (all checked, all return 200).
• README: added an implicitly_wait row to the comparison table. New "When to use Waitless (and when not to)" section: Playwright, specific business conditions, a comparison table.
• README: new FAQ/troubleshooting section (pytest fixture, open Shadow DOM, SeleniumBase/wrappers, apps that never go idle, overhead, isinstance). Changed the CHANGELOG and LICENSE links to absolute URLs so they work on PyPI.
• pyproject: new one-line summary. More keywords and classifiers (all checked against trove-classifiers). Homepage now points to https://www.dhirajdas.dev/project/waitless. Added a Blog URL. Repository no longer ends in .git. Build requirement is now setuptools>=77, which the SPDX license = "MIT" string needs.
• Version: bumped to 1.0.5 in pyproject.toml, waitless/__init__.py and the instrumentation version string. CHANGELOG has an Unreleased entry. The new summary, keywords and README only show up on PyPI after a release. No behavior changes.

Checks

• python -m build + twine check --strict dist/*: PASSED (wheel and sdist)
• pytest tests/unit: 167 passed

Repo settings changed directly (already live)

• Added topics: selenium-python, webdriver, pytest, auto-wait, test-automation. Description and homepage were already set and are unchanged.

After merging

• Publish 1.0.5 to PyPI by running the "Publish to PyPI" workflow (workflow_dispatch).
