Upload a custom Instagram Reel cover image

Upload a cover image for an Instagram Reel. The image is stored as a JPEG (PNG/WebP are transcoded server-side; transparency is flattened onto white) and a public URL is returned. Set that URL as platformSettings.instagram.coverUrl via update-post to use it as the Reel cover. The target post group must be an editable (draft or scheduled) post you own and not currently publishing. Covers apply to Reels only and are ignored for Stories and images.
