The Instagram component embeds an Instagram post using the official Instagram embed API. It renders inside a glass-morphism card with hover effects.

URL Handling
The component accepts either a full Instagram URL or just a shortcode:
<!-- Full URL -->
<Instagram url="https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123/" />
<!-- Shortcode only -->
<Instagram url="ABC123" />Shortcodes (alphanumeric strings without slashes) are automatically converted to full URLs: https://www.instagram.com/p/{shortcode}/. A trailing slash is always ensured for Instagram embed compatibility.
Implementation Notes
Embed script loading: On first render, the component injects Instagram’s embed.js script into the page. If the script is already present (e.g., from another Instagram component on the same page), it calls window.instgrm.Embeds.process() to initialize the new embed.
Styling: The embed container uses glass-morphism (translucent background, border, backdrop blur) with a hover effect that adds accent border glow and slight scale on desktop (lg:hover).
