Resolve ticker, CIK & company name API

Cross-resolve a US stock ticker, SEC CIK (central index key), or company name against the SEC's public company_tickers snapshot, returning the zero-padded 10-digit CIK (the form EDGAR APIs require), the ticker, the legal title, and a ready EDGAR link. The value-add is the normalized cross-map + fuzzy name search over a corpus agents otherwise download and index themselves. Answers 'what is Apple's CIK', 'which company is ticker AAPL', 'CIK for Microsoft', 'find the ticker for this company name'.
