ergosteur 4a2bd7aa19 feat: guard against a dead Instagram session, show progress, fix missing pings
- check-session.py: preflight in gdl-cron.sh. No unexpired sessionid in the
  Chrome profile gdl reads -> abort before any request, ping /76 (red check).
- stories-streak.py: postflight. Every fetched stories source empty for 3
  consecutive days -> exit 77, for a session Instagram stopped honouring while
  the cookie is still present. The 2026-10-07 session death went unnoticed for
  a week because every run still exited 0.
- gdl-sync.py: [n/N] source headers, a 60s heartbeat with new-file counts, and
  per-source timing, so a healthy paced run no longer looks hung.
- gdl-sync@.service now runs run-%i.sh instead of gdl-cron.sh: HC_URL is set in
  the wrappers, so scheduled runs had never pinged Healthchecks.
- Tests for both guards (offline) and the progress helpers.

Tests for the request-budget logic in gdl-sync.py.
python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p 'test_*.py'
Deliberately stdlib-only, so it runs anywhere the sync itself runs. What is
covered here is the part that decides whether to spend a request — the part
whose absence got the archive's Instagram account suspended.
