Get traveler reviews for a TripAdvisor location, with pagination.

Round-trips a small public www.tripadvisor.com URL (/) through the fetchproxy bridge and returns diagnostics: the bridge's role (host/peer/null), port, version, the elapsed round-trip time, and a plain-English hint distinguishing 'bridge never came up' from 'extension not connected' from 'real www.tripadvisor.com-side problem'. Call this when a real tool fails and you want to know which hop broke. Read-only, no auth required.

Get a TripAdvisor location's core details (name, rating, review count, address, coordinates, phone, photo, listing URL) by location ID, read from the public page via the browser bridge. Works without an API key — use this when ta_get_location_details is unavailable or its key is blocked. Covers attractions, hotels, and restaurants. Does not return individual review text.
