resolve_entity

Resolve an entity name to canonical identifiers across all relevant Gnist Context servers.

Given a name and type, queries multiple upstream servers in parallel and returns
a unified identity card with native identifiers per source. Results are cached
for 24 hours.

Args:
name: Entity name to resolve.
Examples: "Equinor", "Albert Einstein", "Norway", "machine learning"
entity_type: Type of entity. One of: company, person, country, research_topic.
hints: Optional dict of hints to narrow resolution.
For company: {"country": "NO"} to include Norwegian registry (Brreg).
For country: {"code": "NO"} to query economic databases by code.

Returns:
Identity card with:
- canonical_name: Best-match canonical name
- entity_type: The resolved type
- identifiers: Dict keyed by source (brreg, gleif, wikidata, etc.),
each containing the source's native identifiers
- sources_ok / sources_failed: Resolution success counts
- cached: Whether result came from cache

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`name`	`string`	required	Entity name to resolve.
`entity_type`	`string`	required
