Resolve Company Names to Domains with Clay

POST /resolve-domains (CSV: company_name)
    ↓
POST /routines/{routine_id}/run   (Company Domain, chunked at 100/request)
    ↓
GET /routines/run/{run_id}/results (poll until complete)
    ↓
resolved_domains.csv (company_name, domain)

Implement a Flask service that resolves a CSV of company names to domains
using Clay's "Company Domain" managed function.

Requirements:
- Base URL: https://api.clay.com/public/v0, auth header "clay-api-key".
- Find the real routine id via your workspace's routine catalog.
- Confirmed real input schema: {"Company Name": str} (required).
- Confirmed real result key: "Domain" (a plain hostname string).
- IMPORTANT LIMITATION (confirmed live): this routine does not signal "not
  found" for unmatchable/nonsense company names -- it can return a
  confidently wrong domain instead of an empty result. Disclose this in the
  article; do not attempt to silently filter or validate results as if the
  routine reliably distinguishes real matches from guesses.
- Accept a CSV via multipart upload or raw request body, with a
  "company_name" column.
- Chunk submissions at up to 100 items per API call.
- Write resolved_domains.csv with columns company_name,domain -- empty
  string for anything genuinely unresolved (a missing result), never a
  fabricated domain from this code's own logic.
- Run the verification step below before finishing.

mkdir company-name-to-domain && cd company-name-to-domain
python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip install flask requests

clay routines list | grep -A2 '"Company Domain"'

"""
Bulk company-name -> domain resolver, backed by the Clay 'Company Domain'
routine.

POST /resolve-domains with a CSV containing a 'company_name' column, either
as a multipart file upload or as the raw request body. Writes
resolved_domains.csv with columns company_name,domain. A missing result
gets an empty domain -- never a guessed one from this code.

KNOWN LIMITATION (confirmed live, see Common Issues): the routine itself
can return a confidently wrong domain for a nonsense/unmatchable company
name instead of signaling "not found". This is a property of Clay's
underlying data provider, not a defect in this code.
