Fixes the failing weekly Live check (run 39253245551, block 10 "Coding agents").

Why it failed

@brightdata/cli 0.4.0 (released 12 Oct 2026) removed bdata pipelines <type>:

✗ Pipeline types were removed in 0.4.0. Find the scraper with:
  brightdata pipelines search instagram posts

Every CLI line in the README was broken for readers, who get the newest CLI through npx -p @brightdata/cli. Only block 10 went red. Blocks 11-14 stayed green because the workflow ran them on a pinned 0.3.4.

README

• Uses bdata pipelines run <dataset_id> collect_by_url <url> with the four Instagram dataset IDs from bdata pipelines search instagram
• Drops the 0.3.x console output sample and the pipelines list line, which no longer exist
• Removes "the CLI has no route for it": 0.4.0 has discover_by_url on the Posts scraper (not documented here, since it is untested)

Workflows

• New cli-syntax job, no secret, runs on every push and schedule. It installs the newest CLI and runs every README CLI line with a key the API rejects. A line the CLI still accepts gets a 401. A line it no longer accepts fails before reaching the API. This catches the 12 Oct break the same day, for free, and warns when a new CLI release is out.
• One BDATA_CLI pin, also applied to npx -p @brightdata/cli lines, so the jobs that hold the secret run a known version
• plan and block share one parser in .github/scripts/readme_blocks.py instead of two copies
• A failing block now shows its last six lines and exit code. Before, the summary showed only the hint line and hid the cause.
• The bot commit message reads "Last check failed …" on failure. It used to say "Last verified" even on a red run.
• The badge and field-table commits only run from main, so a manual run on a branch no longer tries to push main
• A failed scheduled run opens one "Live check is failing" issue, or comments on the open one
• The scrape job no longer installs the CLI it never used
• pip cache, plus ci.yml concurrency and timeouts

Verified

• Locally, with CLI 0.4.0, readme_blocks.py cli-syntax passes on this README and fails all five lines on the old one
• ruff, pytest (16 passed) and actionlint pass. The only actionlint output is three info-level shellcheck notes that predate this PR.
• Live API run of blocks 10-14 on this branch: running now via workflow_dispatch
