📨 Instagram Direct Messaging

* Built on the Messenger Platform — Instagram DMs use Meta's Messenger infrastructure under the hood; Synalux uses the same provider abstraction.

* Webhook ingress/api/v1/instagram/webhook receives DMs from connected Instagram Business accounts.

* Send/api/v1/instagram/send posts via Meta's /me/messages endpoint with appsecret_proof on every call.

* Story mentions, comment replies — receive notifications when your account is mentioned or commented on; reply inline.
