Place a limit order
place_limit_orderPlace a limit order. Default timeInForce=GTT (long-term, durable, broadcast-commit so errors return synchronously). Use SHORT_TERM only for latency-sensitive orders (expire within ~20 blocks, broadcast async). NOTE: stateful (GTT) orders are rate-limited to 2/block and 20 per 100 blocks — pace placements. Returns confirmation with the REAL outcome verified via the indexer (filled / partially_filled / resting / unfilled / pending) — broadcast code: 0 only means the tx was accepted, NOT that it filled. Report from confirmation.outcome; if it is pending, the indexer is lagging — re-check shortly.
