A visit's End could be edited and was shown in road trip mode, but the
schedule never read it: the drive always left a stop after its stay, so
a traveller who knew when they had to leave but not how long they would
stand there had no way to say so.
The End is now the time the drive leaves. RoadtripStop.leaveAt is
filled from the visit's End (or its place's) on the client by
useRoadtripRoutes and on the server by roadtrip-plan.service, so
calculate_roadtrip and get_roadtrip_context agree with the planner, and
computeSchedule takes it as the departure it already knew how to hold.
With Start and End both set the stay is the time between them. With
daily travel times on, the stay is the time until then, and an End
before the window start starts the day early the way a Start does.
Before the first fixed time the chain works backwards through an End as
it does through a pinned Start.
An End is read against the drive: the last passing of that clock time
counts as missed when the drive went past it on the road or earlier
the same day, anything else is the next one, so a drive across
midnight neither waits a whole day nor pretends to be on time. A drive
that gets there after the End leaves on arrival and files a
missedLeave finding, shown beside the late badge in the rail and on the
phone.
The rail's STAY badge, the inspector's Stay tile, the phone stop sheet
and the phone chain show the stay the End makes, with an "until 14:00"
hint. It is read off the schedule and never written to
duration_minutes: the stay belongs to the place, the End to one visit,
and a stored copy would go stale as soon as the arrival moved. For such
a stop the stay dialog, desktop and phone, shows that stay read only
and offers to remove the End, through the visit's time route with an
offline path (assignmentRepo.setTimes, setAssignmentTimes). While the
road trip is on, the End field in both place forms says the drive
leaves at that time.
The dead checkoutAt in the plan service is gone. New strings in all 23
locales.
"Connect the days" is a whole-drive setting: with it on, the leg from one day's last
stop to the next day's first is drawn in the colour of the day it leaves, so the desktop
map reads as one continuous drive across every day. The phone has no such view by
default. It shows ONE day, and the stage filter went by day number alone, so that
connection came along: a line running off the day on screen to a place it never visits,
and on this trip the longest thing on the map by far.
The assembler now says which lines are connections (`lineJoins`, parallel to `lines` and
`lineDays`) rather than leaving each surface to guess, because the day number cannot tell
them apart: it reads the leaving day for both a day's own legs and for the drive out of
it. A stage drops them; the all-days view keeps them, which is the view the setting is
for and is one tap away on the same map, next to the day chips.
Routes read back from an older cache carry no marks, so nothing is known to be a join and
nothing is dropped: those days draw exactly as they did before.
Cases appended to four existing suites for the lines this branch left unrun: the
fold state and the map places it hides, the owner-based via anchor, the day seam
and the proportional geometry slicing, and the live roadtripVia:changed events.
With the four new suites in the commits before this one, coverage of the lines
this branch adds goes from 69 % to 96 %, measured the way the gate measures it —
the routed lines against the diff, not a file average.
Every added case was mutation-checked: the rule it claims to pin was broken in
the source and the case had to fail. Two of them found real defects rather than
missing coverage, and both are fixed here.
A via dropped on the incoming night drive went to the wrong leg. The guard for
it asked the insert index whether the point lay before the card's first stop,
and that index cannot answer: insertIndexForAlong clamps to at least 1 for any
card with two stops or more, and the rail publishes no other kind. So the branch
read correctly and never ran, and a via on the night stretch was filed after the
first drawn stop — the route ran forward, doubled back to the point and carried
on, which is exactly what the comment above it said must not happen. Asked of
the distance instead.
The two one-field writes the rail offers, the stop kind and the fill level, went
straight to the API while their neighbour checked place_edit first. The server
refused them, so nothing was ever saved, but a reader got an error toast for
touching a control that should not have acted.
A day that runs past midnight used to keep every one of its stops on its own
card, so day one ended at 03:12 with three places nobody reaches on day one and
day two began with a drive that had already happened. The rail now lays the
stops out by the date they are actually reached: when the clock goes backwards
between two arrivals the ones after it move to the following day, into a block
that says where they came from, and the night drive and its kilometres go with
them. It is an arrangement, not a write — the day planner beside it is
untouched, nothing reaches the database, and a shorter stay the evening before
puts everything back on its own.
The map follows the same arrangement, because a boundary drawn in the rail and
not on the map is two answers to one question. Day one now ends where its last
reachable stop is and the line, the legs and the totals are cut to match.
Two switches in the driving settings, off by default. "Connect the days" routes
the gap between one day's last stop and the next day's first, which is real
driving the rail has never drawn, and counts it. "A colour per day" then puts
the days back into a line that has become continuous, and tints each day header
to match.
Collapsing a day from its header takes its route and its places off the map as
well as out of the rail, and the categories in the corridor panel fold the same
way. The refuel band is one full-width red band with the pump as its button,
the results are chips, and the driving dialog is two columns of panels with the
figures on one right edge.
Also fixes a via that would not adjust the route once dragged. Five separate
causes, all measured rather than guessed: leg threading used the card index
instead of the owning day's, the anchor lookup returned chain indices, it
filtered by the card rather than by the anchor's owner, seams were routed
without their vias, and a seam once routed was never re-fetched.
Three things the rail was quietly getting wrong at a day boundary.
A stop reached later than the time set on it showed a warning only when it carried
a number. The schedule restarts its chain at any anchor, whatever kind of stop holds
it, so the finding was computed for a fuel or charging halt too and then thrown away.
Both branches now draw it, from one component, and it sits in the badge row beside
the stay rather than on a line of its own.
The midnight crossing was a small pill floating in the middle of the rail, which read
as a badge belonging to the stop underneath. It is now a band across the full width
that breaks the dashed line instead of letting it run through, with the mascot asleep
in the gap. Both its animations stop under prefers-reduced-motion.
And the stay dialog said 'leave 01:00' for a departure the chain places on the next
day, because the clock wraps modulo 24 h. It now carries the same day marker the rail
has always shown beside such a time.
Six changes to the place picker and the card behind it, all of them about a
panel saying less and meaning more.
The TREK place index has no switch in the admin panel any more. It decides
whether a search leaves the instance at all, which is a property of the
deployment rather than a taste: an operator pins TREK_PLACES_ENABLED=false in
their compose file, and it cannot be turned off from a browser by whoever holds
an admin account that day. The switch never shipped, so nothing to migrate.
The standing "Using OpenStreetMap" notice above the search box is gone. It was
a sentence about configuration in the middle of a form about a place, and it
answered a question nobody asked while leaving the real one open. Each result
now carries a small mark instead: TREK, OpenStreetMap or Google. It sits on the
row rather than above the list, because a list can be two indexes interleaved
and a heading could only name one of them.
The saved-places filters open across the full width of the row. Two of them sit
side by side, only one can be open at a time, and list names were being cut at
about ten characters for no reason.
Three empty states use the mascot the rest of TREK uses. The place details panel
no longer tells the reader to go and ask an administrator for a Google key, the
saved-places list and the road trip rail no longer explain themselves in two
lines of grey text. That needed one new mood, `sad`: `sleepy` reads as falling
asleep, which is a different thing from finding nothing.
The Kind of stop field is out of the place form. It is a road trip concept, and
the road trip view already sets it from the stop's own number, where the choice
is next to what it changes.
An imported GPX track was a line drawn beside the day: the map showed the
scenic route while the day kept driving the motorway, so the distance, the
drive time and every warning belonged to a road nobody was taking. Norway
publishes its scenic routes that way, and so does every touring club worth
importing from.
A track becomes a route the day takes by refinement, not by conversion. Route
through what we have, find the point of the track the road misses by the most,
make that point a via, go again. Each round roughly halves the worst miss,
because the new via lands in the middle of what the last one left unfollowed,
so a scenic route usually fits inside ten vias — and the loop stops when the
road is close enough rather than after a fixed count. Every point of the track
would route exactly and take a hundred requests; two would route in seconds
and follow nothing.
The day is routed whole per round, not leg by leg: it is a single request
already, and per-leg would multiply every round by the number of legs against
a host that answers one request a second. The track is oriented to the day
first, because half of Norway's routes are published southbound, and the legs
it covers are cleared before the new chain lands, so applying a track twice
does not stack.
Offered from the day's own badges, and only once something has been imported.
Tinted while the day carries vias: the rail draws none of them, so that badge
is the only place a drive shaped by hand differs from one the router picked.
Eight native title attributes across the rail and the corridor panel, which
render as the browser's own grey box after its own delay and ignore every
appearance setting. All of them are the shared Tooltip now, the same one the
rest of the app uses.
The warning badge had its border in the soft tint of the warning colour, which
at sixteen pixels disappears into the card and left it as the only badge in the
row without a shell. It takes the warning colour itself.
Two tests moved with it: a tooltip only enters the DOM on hover, so what they
pin now is the visible difference between a pinned and a computed arrival —
weight and ink — rather than an attribute that no longer exists.
Roel and gfRally asked for three things: how far the car goes on a tank, how
long you are willing to sit behind the wheel in one go, and how much driving
belongs in a day. They are one feature. All three are a threshold, a walk over
the legs, and a finding.
Two things they deliberately are not. They are durations and distances rather
than times of day, because with no stop pinned to a clock the cascade produces
no times at all, for any stop, and a limit on an hour would simply never fire.
And the day limit is called driving time, not travel time, because the figure
it is measured against is exactly that: the badge beside it, which counts no
time spent at stops and no leg to a hotel. The card says so out loud rather
than leaving it to be discovered.
The range budget carries across midnight, since a tank does not empty
overnight, and resets after a finding: without that, 1800 km on a 600 km range
flags every leg after the first overrun. Only fuel and charging reset it, never
the other four service kinds — a two-hour lunch fills nothing, and nobody here
knows whether the restaurant has a charger in its car park.
Kilometres in storage, the traveller's own unit on screen. Skipping that round
trip means an imperial user types 400 meaning miles, 400 km is stored, and the
warnings arrive a third too early from then on.
No stop is suggested and no vehicle is modelled. OSM does not know what car
this is and neither do we, so the range is a number you type. Furkot does the
same, for the same reason.
A plugin may already route a day in road trip mode, and the charging stops it
answered with were thrown away: the map was handed an empty list and the rail
never looked. That made "build it as a plugin" — the answer given to charging
prices, to ABRP and to the AFIR data — untrue in the one mode where it matters.
Each halt is measured along the run once and filed on the leg it is actually
driven on, using the leg lengths the router reported rather than by projecting
the stops too: leg distances are exact by construction, while two stops close
together project onto each other's stretch and would put a charge the wrong
side of a town.
The rail row is deliberately the poorest of the four. No number, no editable
stay, no arrival time, a hollow disc: the halt belongs to the provider, not to
the traveller, and everything filled on that rail is something they put there.
Nor is it ever written back — a plugin halt stored as a via would go out as a
waypoint on the next run, and the plugin would plan around its own charging
stop.
No time on the row for a second reason: the SDK contract folds the stop into
the leg duration, so the arrivals already account for it. Adding dwellSeconds
to the schedule would push every arrival after a charge back by the charging
time.
Three separate features write into the same two places here: the leg merge and
the final memo. The access lines want the snapped waypoints, plugin routing
wants the via points it was given, and the driving limits want findings that
belong to a leg rather than to a stop. Built one after another, the same two
lines get rewritten three times.
So the shapes land once, empty. RoutedLeg gains snapped and vias, RoadtripDay
gains driveWarnings and dayWarning, RoadtripRoutes gains accessLines, and the
memo becomes a walk rather than a map, because a range budget carried past
midnight needs somewhere to live between two days.
Schedule stays exactly as it was. Its own test compares the empty result with
toEqual, which checks both directions, so a third field there would fail it —
and a finding about the driving does not belong to a stop anyway.
The road-trip addon's second half: the parts that let a planned drive be
argued with rather than only read.
Reshaping. A via records which stop it follows by position, and that position
is resolved fresh every time the day is routed — so inserting, reordering or
removing a stop moved the ground under every via after it, and the drive
silently snapped back to the road it had been steered away from while the
handle still sat on the map where it was left. The correction is computed
against the day as it stands and written with the same change, in one
transaction: a half-applied re-anchoring mixes two numbering schemes in one
day. The one judgement that needs geometry — which half of a split leg a via
belongs to when a stop lands in the middle of it — is measured on the road
actually driven, so a fuel stop added to a bent leg keeps the bend on the side
it belongs to.
Alternatives. OSRM answers most long legs with exactly one route, which read as
"there is no other way" when a perfectly good slower road existed. When it
offers nothing, the same drive is asked for again without the motorway, and
failing that without the tolls — one question at a time, stopping as soon as
one lands. The offer says what it is rather than how much slower.
Stops along the way. Everything the corridor search can find is a pause, not a
destination: fuel, charging, rest areas, campsites, food and sights all sit
inside the leg they were found on, carry their own colour and icon, and are
left out of every stop count. That colour is defined once and read by the rail,
the corridor list, the map pin and the picker — and it replaced the chains'
logos, which turned a corridor full of petrol stations into a row of
advertisements and left the brands with no logo on file looking like something
else entirely.
How long a stop takes was readable in the rail and writable nowhere; new places
were given an invented hour that nobody had entered. It is now set from the
rail, cleared as a zero because the update statement folds a null into "leave
it alone", and new places start with nothing.
Both columns are rebuilt on one type scale, anchored to the day plan's own
sizes so switching tabs does not change the size of the text beside it. The
rail reads as trip totals, day cards and a chain of stops with the drives
between them; the corridor column as what to look for, how the search is
getting on, and what it found. Six category pills over three lines became one
dropdown, which is the space the results wanted.
Also: the offered routes are framed on the map when the picker opens (`fitKey`
carries no coordinates and each renderer reads it as "the selected day"), road
trip mode does not cluster at all so the whole drive stays readable zoomed out,
and the drive-time labels finally render in the app's own typeface instead of
Leaflet's Helvetica. All of it in both renderers.
The addon shipped with only its two pure modules under test, which left the parts
that actually talk to the network — and the panel a user reads the answer from —
resting on nothing.
Covers the routing hook (one request per travel-mode run, day default over trip
fallback, retry then give up, no re-fetch on a rename, abort on leave), the
corridor search (one query per box carrying every kind, the perpendicular filter,
dedupe, the retry pass before a stretch counts as unsearched), the corridor state
(roads driven over the line between stops, day follow-along) and both panels.
Two findings from writing them, fixed here:
- A dead straight leg is reduced to its two ends by the simplifier, and tiling
walks point to point — so a 250 km motorway stretch produced a box at each end
and nothing in between, while the search still reported itself complete. Steps
longer than half a box are now split before tiling.
- projectOnSegment guarded a degenerate segment with `lenSq === 0`, which two
ends that came through a chain of floating point arithmetic never hit.
Also splits the anchor resolution out of computeSchedule, which was three levels
of nesting for one question, and sorts the POI cache key with a comparator.
