Subject: [PATCH] Poll for the placement suggestion instead of waiting on it

Matching pictures to the script is a model call and cannot answer inside the
few seconds the API gateway allows, so it returned "Function timed out". It now
starts in the background and this waits for it, the same way frames and joins
already do.
