Resolve an org name to its ROR id + research profile (OpenAlex) API

Resolves a research organisation name to its canonical ROR id, country and type, plus a research profile (works, citations, h-index, top topics) via OpenAlex /institutions. Answers 'what is the ROR id for this university?', 'how research-active is this institution and in what fields?'. (Uses OpenAlex for resolution because ROR's own search endpoint was returning broken results at build time.)
