Description

Create a program with a large IDL. Deploy that program, but not the IDL. Transfer authority of that program to a squad.

Now try to use the squads deploy action. It will try to initialize the IDL, but it can only resize 10kb per-tx. If the IDL is bigger than that, it will fail.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the large-IDL scenario through the Squads deploy action: deploy a program without its IDL, transfer authority to a squad, and run the action. Trace the IDL initialization and resizing path, then verify that an IDL larger than 10 KB can be deployed successfully across transactions.
