Feature/connect to community bot

[Zaqttack]

Summary

• Adds a coworking-space live status feature with a bottom-right toast (Open / Closed / Unknown).
• Introduces a server-side proxy endpoint for Discord bot status so the API token is not exposed to clients.
• Adds .env.example
• Updates status polling/caching behavior to a 120-second cadence.

Why

• Surface coworking availability quickly to users on /coworking-space.
• Keep STATUS_API_TOKEN server-side and secure.

Changes Made

• Added app/api/discord-status/route.ts
  • Calls Discord bot status endpoint with bearer token from server env.
  • Normalizes response to safe payload (open|closed|unknown, updatedAt).
  • Adds cache headers (s-maxage=120, stale-while-revalidate=60).
• Updated components/coworking-space/hero-section.tsx
  • Added bottom-right status toast UI.
  • Shows status (Open / Closed / Unknown) and relative update text.
  • Polls /api/discord-status every 120 seconds.
• Updated .gitignore to keep .env.example committed while ignoring other .env*.

How To Test

1. Create .env.local from .env.example and set:
   • STATUS_API_TOKEN
2. Run app locally:
   • npm ci
   • npm run dev
3. Open /coworking-space:
   • Confirm bottom-right toast appears.
   • Confirm status shows Open/Closed (or Unknown when token/endpoint unavailable).
   • Confirm relative timestamp text renders.
4. Validate polling/cache behavior:
   • Keep page open >2 minutes and confirm status refreshes.
   • Hit /api/discord-status directly and inspect response shape.

Notes for Reviewers

• STATUS_API_TOKEN must be set in Vercel project environment variables (repo secrets alone are not enough).
• Token is never sent to client; browser only calls internal /api/discord-status.
• Current design intentionally uses 120s polling + 120s server cache to balance freshness and upstream load.
