Ask the merchant right now
request_live_statusAsk a venue's owner a right-now question; it pushes to their phone and they have 5 minutes to answer (REAL side effect). Call it directly: the server reuses a fresh answer, joins an identical pending question, and blocks closed hours by itself. Only partner venues can be asked; on live_status_not_available don't retry. Use it only for things that change through the day and aren't in venue data: kind='item' (in stock / today's ingredient / sold out — use a real menu name from get_place as the topic), kind='wait' (current wait), kind='seats' (can a party get in now — always include the headcount, e.g. '10명 즉시 착석'; ask how many first if unknown; any partner venue can be asked, don't pre-filter by size). Hours, parking, pets and menu come from get_place, not the owner. blocked:'closed_now' = the shop is closed now and nobody was pinged — say so; don't retry or wait. Otherwise it starts 'pending': tell the user you're checking with the shop (up to 5 minutes) and call wait_for_live_status until settled. Relay the owner's note (e.g. '약 20분', '2개 남음') with the time it was checked, and add that it can change. If seats are available and the user wants to book, go on to request_reservation.
