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.
Book a night to check in at ten, pin a stop to three in the afternoon behind it,
and the rail said 13:46. True enough as arithmetic — with no hour of its own the
chain works the first stop backwards out of the first one that has one, so three
minus a fourteen minute drive minus an hour standing there — and nothing anybody
asked for.
A door that opens at ten, with nothing ahead of it deciding otherwise, IS the
hour: the day starts there and runs forwards. Reached later it stays what it was,
a floor, and a floor below the arrival changes nothing — which is what keeps a
hotel behind an afternoon stop at its real arrival instead of dragging it back to
its check-in.
It is the hour a room becomes available. Reaching it later is reaching it; only a
time somebody pinned to a stop can be missed. Read as an anchor it did the exact
opposite of what it means: arrive at 16:14 at a hotel that checks in from 11:00
and the rail reported five hours fourteen late, then read that 11:00 as earlier
than the 15:00 before it, took it for a new day and pushed the hotel onto
tomorrow. The day it came from was left with one stop and dropped out of the list
altogether, so the stop before it appeared to vanish.
The schedule now takes it as a floor: waited for when the drive gets there first,
and otherwise silent. Waiting still prints in ink, because the hour is one
somebody named; arriving late to it prints as computed, because nothing was
decided.
Same shape of mistake as the check-out, from the other side. One says the earliest
you may be somewhere, the other the latest you may still be — neither says when
you drive.
A check-out is the LATEST the room has to be handed back, never the earliest
anybody may drive on, so it says nothing the chain can use. It shaped four things
it had no business shaping: the departure the day was built from, the length the
rail printed for a booked night, a day-selector and a clock field in the stop
dialog, and the branch that sent a night's STAY badge to the booking form because
its length was not editable here. All four go. The booking keeps its check-out;
it is a booking detail and lives under Days, where it is entered.
What replaces it is the thing that was always the honest answer: how long you
stand there. That is the traveller's own statement rather than a deadline, and a
stay running past midnight now carries the clock into the morning after — a stop
pinned before it ends keeps its hour and collects the late finding, as it would
from any leg it cannot make. A stay spanning whole days walks the clock forward
over them. An ordinary evening hands on nothing: the night between two days is
not a wait somebody is serving out.
The stay dialog goes to a full day rather than four hours, since it is now the
only place a night is given its hours, and offers eight and twelve as presets.
Every stop answers the same question the same way.
Overlay panels lose the skeleton placeholder. It was drawn in the page flow, so
the first time each dialog was ever opened a pale block flashed under the planner
and never again once its chunk was cached.
The rail prints an hour in ink when a person picked it and in grey when the chain
worked it out. Every scheduler anchors on `time ?? checkInTime`, so a booked night
starts its day on the check-in exactly the way a pinned stop does — but two of the
three then asked only about `time` when labelling the result, and printed that
chosen hour grey.
The answer lived in three places and two of them disagreed with the anchor they
had just used, so it is one function now. Nothing but the rail reads the flag.
Only visible since a booked night became a stop of its own; before that no stop
carried a check-in.
