  title: X Follow a User by Their Username
  summary: Resolve a target handle to an id, then follow that user.
  description: >-
    Lets the authenticated user follow another account given only that
    account's public @username. The workflow resolves the username into a
    numeric user id and then issues the follow request, inlining the
    target_user_id in the follow body so the chain reads and executes without
    opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
