Add resolve_ids.py to fill Instagram user IDs in accounts.json

[kevinjylin]

Summary

• Adds pipeline/resolve_ids.py to bulk-fill instagram_user_id in accounts.json from Instagram handles
• Uses Instagram web_profile_info (CommentPicker-style), not instaloader scrape-time lookup
• Adds mocked unit tests in pipeline/tests/test_resolve_ids.py

Problem

UCR org handles land in accounts.json via discover.py, but numeric IDs were being pasted by hand from commentpicker.com. Relying on instaloader during scrape to resolve IDs was flaky.

Usage

cd pipeline
python resolve_ids.py              # fill missing IDs
python resolve_ids.py --dry-run
python resolve_ids.py --only acm_ucr,cyber_ucr
python resolve_ids.py --force      # re-resolve existing IDs
python resolve_ids.py --strict     # fail if any targeted handle errors

Default: only missing IDs, 2–5s jitter, retries on 401/429, writes partial progress. Run from a normal home/campus network — some datacenter IPs get hard rate-limited.

Test plan

• cd pipeline && python -m unittest tests.test_resolve_ids
• python resolve_ids.py --dry-run --only acm_ucr from a local network
• Confirm instagram_user_id written for a handle that was missing one
