asks: the live acceptance says when a new link can approve, and asks through mesh-cli

Step 3 stopped silently 16 minutes later when the Telegram account was linked less than an hour before; it
now says that approvals start at the local time the router gives. The script reaches the controller through
mesh-cli, the controller's terminal on the control node (hq ADR 0272).
