+/**
+ * Google Ads Transparency Center 2-Step RPC Client (src/rpc_client.mjs)
+ *
+ * Implements the two-stage JSON-RPC-over-form-urlencoded waterfall against
+ * `adstransparency.google.com`:
+ *   1. `resolveAdvertiserEntities` (`SearchSuggestions`): Disambiguates brand names and
+ *      internationalized domains (IDN/punycode, eTLD+1 Public Suffix List, and multi-tenant
+ *      platform domains) using symmetric NFKD/diacritic folding, Unicode script preservation,
+ *      dotted legal-suffix collapsing, and a strict leading-word positive identity gate.
+ *   2. `fetchAdvertiserCreatives` (`SearchCreatives`) & `getCreativeDetailsById`
+ *      (`LookupService/GetCreativeById`): Cursor-paginated extraction of verified ad creatives
+ *      with query-bound composite cursor resume (`rcp1_...`), Google Geo Target Criterion ID
+ *      country filtering (`2840` = US, etc.), cursor cycle detection, comma-preserving
+ *      script-escaped URL extraction, timestamp provenance repair, and fail-closed schema-drift
+ *      protection.
