All CI-green on dev (run 635).

A source URL like patreon.com/posts/<slug>-<id> is a single-post permalink, not a creator page — the resolver grabbed "posts" as the vanity and failed. Now a /posts/<id> URL follows the post to its owning campaign (Patreon post API, ?include=campaign), so pasting any post URL subscribes to that creator's whole feed. posts/ is excluded from the vanity regex so it can't masquerade as a creator slug.

Resolution order: cached override → id: URL → /posts/<id> → vanity (campaigns API + creator-page scrape). Unit-tested (mocked) — post→campaign resolve + /posts/ not treated as a vanity.

A source URL like https://www.patreon.com/posts/mimic-in-dungeon-158372536 is a
single-post permalink, not a creator page — the resolver grabbed "posts" as the
vanity and failed (operator-flagged 2026-06-07). Add a resolution path: extract
the trailing post id and follow it to the owning campaign via the Patreon post
API (/api/posts/<id>?include=campaign), so pasting any post URL subscribes to
that creator's whole feed. `posts/` is excluded from the vanity regex so it
can't masquerade as a creator slug.

Resolution order is now: cached override → id: URL → /posts/<id> → vanity
(campaigns API + creator-page scrape). Tests cover the post→campaign resolve
and that /posts/ URLs aren't treated as vanities.
