Publish an ad launch
https://api.norreach.app/v1/ad-launches/{id}/publishPublishes a launch Nora built, as the key's creator — exactly as the app's Publish button: it needs the ads.spend role, outreach must not be paused (409 outreach_paused), the landing page must be live, the network must allow publishing from NorReach, the ad account must be connected and the launch must pass the network's own checks (422 ad_publish_blocked with a reason). Everything is created PAUSED in the ad network; nothing spends until it's switched on there. It then publishes in the background — follow it with GET /ad-launches/{id}. dry_run=true runs every check and changes nothing.
