📋 What the URL Shortener does

Multi-provider URL shortening:

• 🔗 URL list input. Paste multiple URLs for batch shortening.
• 🌐 Multiple providers. TinyURL, is.gd, Bitly, and more.
• 🔀 Provider rotation. Randomize across providers or use one consistently.
• 🔑 Bitly integration. Optional Bitly API key for branded short links.

💡 Why it matters: shortening URLs one at a time across different services is tedious. This Actor processes batches with provider rotation in one run.
