Scrape public Instagram posts, reels, and carousel posts from usernames, profile URLs, and post URLs with optional cookies, explicit diagnostics, and simple per-post pricing. Unofficial actor, not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.
Preserve original technical-failure conditions under explicit and legacy warning policies.
Finalize empty runs through the shared guard with retry_then_fail as the default. Explicit warning policies succeed with a visible warning; legacy saved success policies normalize to warning.
Preserve retries and actor telemetry while recording the final empty/non-empty outcome in RUN_META.
Removed the expired emergency profitability freeze and smoke-input exceptions.
