Resolve a company name, brand, or ticker substring to canonical ticker(s). Use this FIRST when the user mentions a company by name/brand/nickname before running any ticker-keyed tool.
Input:
- query (required): company name, brand, or ticker substring, e.g. "Apple", "AAPL", "OpenAI"
- market (optional): "us" | "jp" | "cn" — omit to search all markets
Returns up to 5 matches ranked by prefix-hit first, then name length. Returned
symbols carry their market suffix: US bare (AAPL), Japan .T (6758.T),
A-share .SH/.SZ (600519.SH).
