The three figures under the button were one run-on string joined by dots, which
says nothing about which number is which. Each takes the badge shell the rail
already uses, with its own icon: a clock, a calendar, a pump. The icon tile in
front of the title goes, because it was eating exactly the width the three
badges need to sit on one line.
Distances there go through formatDistance, so an imperial traveller reads miles
on the button and types miles in the dialog while storage stays kilometres.
EmptyState gains a compact variant. A sidebar state sits under its own controls,
where a line at page size competes with them; at the caption tier it reads as
what it is, a note about why the list below is blank.
Reported from a real trip: Hamburg, A1, HEM, Berlin. HEM to Berlin is 244.7 km,
and the badge on Berlin said 121 — which is the length of the NEXT leg, Berlin
to Sanssouci. The finding was anchored to the stop the leg departs from while
its wording ("since the last fill-up") is a running total, so the number never
matched what anyone adds up off the drive bands above it.
Both findings are true on arrival, so that is where they belong. The same trip
now reads 125 at HEM (21.5 + 103.4) and 245 at Berlin, which is exactly what you
get counting the bands.
A service stop carries them too. A charging halt is a stop like any other as far
as the tank is concerned, and HEM was the very stop whose figure went missing.
The corridor's empty state gets the mascot the rest of TREK uses: searching,
idle, and a confused look when a filter left nothing standing, so the picture
says which of the three it is before the sentence is read.
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.
Three holes, one seam. Leaving the corridor popup by "more details" dropped the
kind and the dwell it had just worked out, so a fuel stop silently became a
numbered destination that counted in every total, in the badge and in the PDF.
Once set, the kind could never be changed back through the web UI at all. And
the REST route did not validate the field: both request schemas are open
objects, so stop_type: 'banana' was written straight to the column, where
isServiceStopType read it as false and the stop counted as a destination again.
The form now carries the field, so the popup's answer survives the trip through
it, an ordinary place can become a service stop, and a wrong kind can be taken
off. Editing keeps stop_type and deliberately leaves duration_minutes out: how
long a stay takes belongs to the rail's own dialog, and sending it from here
would overwrite what was set there.
The schemas gain the one field rather than closing: roughly 190 call sites post
whatever their form holds, and a closed object would reject all of them at once.
The doc comment claiming the list was already enforced is corrected — it was
describing an intention.
The two driving findings move into the stop's badge row in warning colours,
beside the stay and the walk from the road. All three say what this stop costs,
and one row reads as one answer rather than as notes stacked underneath.
Two things the column was getting wrong. The limits sat open as a card, three
rows of a narrow sidebar for something set once on the first day of planning
and left alone after; they are behind a proper full-width button now, with what
is currently set riding on the button so the form does not have to be open to
read it. And the walk from the road was its own line under the stay, where it
looked like an unrelated note; it wears the stay's two-part badge and sits
beside it, because both answer the same question about a stop — one in time,
one in a walk.
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.
A router snaps every waypoint to the nearest road before it starts, and OSRM
does it with no distance limit at all. A viewpoint above a valley, a farmhouse
down a track, a marina at the end of a pier: the drive to it really begins
somewhere else, and the line said nothing about that. It either stopped short
for no visible reason or appeared to cut across open ground.
OSRM reports the snap position and its distance in every single answer, and
this client has thrown both away since the first route was drawn. Reading them
costs no request and no key.
The gap is drawn as a dashed spur in the route's own blue, over the route
rather than under it, because it is the one piece of the line that is not
driving. Thirty metres is the floor, which is about a dual carriageway and its
verge, so a place pinned off an aerial photo does not earn a dash. From a
quarter of a kilometre the rail prints the distance too, because that is where
"the car park is over there" turns into luggage, a gate, or a track a hire car
should not be on.
Vias are deliberately left out: a via is a shape handle, not a destination, and
a dash hanging off one reads as a fault.
Both public hosts TREK ships with reject the parameter with HTTP 400: their car
profile is built without excludable classes, and only a self-hosted OSRM built
through the MLD pipeline has them. Every long leg was therefore paying two extra
requests, against a host that allows one per second, to be refused twice.
The first real attempt is the probe. Only a 400 is remembered, because only a
400 is about the host: a 429 is a rate limit, an abort is the user moving on,
and a NoRoute means this leg has no way round the motorway while the next one
might. Kept per base URL, so pointing the instance at an own router that does
support it starts asking again without a reload.
The comment above the fallback said none of this and read as a working feature,
which is why "only one sensible way to drive this" keeps appearing on legs that
plainly have another road.
The single-via route is right for a detour dragged by hand and wrong for
anything that derives its anchors from a line. Pinning a day onto a recorded
track or a signed scenic road means a couple of dozen points, and one request
each re-routes the entire trip once per point, spaced by the routing host's own
rate limit — twenty anchors would spend half a minute drawing routes nobody
asked to see.
replace_legs names the legs to clear rather than taking a flag for the day, and
that is the whole difference: a traveller who bent two legs by hand and then
adopts a scenic road for a third has not asked to lose the two.
The tools follow in the same change, as parity requires. Undoing a detour picks
this up too, where the vias of one leg were deleted one request at a 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 kinds were written out in nine places: the enum in @trek/shared, the
service list and the colours in the model, the corridor's category keys, the
map's road-trip categories, the popup's own table, two lookups in the rail, one
in the map markers and one in the corridor panel. Each carried a comment asking
the next person to keep the others in step, and it came apart anyway.
A rest area was a parking sign in the popup, on the map pill and in the panel,
and a coffee cup on the rail disc and the map marker, for the same stop. The
parking sign wins: the colour has been documented since it was written as "the
blue every parking sign in Europe is printed in".
stopKinds.ts holds one row per kind and everything else reads from it. It sits
beside the model rather than inside it because an icon is a React component and
roadtripModel.ts is deliberately React-free so the arithmetic can be tested on
its own; the colours and the service list stay there and are read from here.
Two flags rather than one, because they are not the same question: a hotel is
something the corridor can find, but sleeping somewhere ends the day rather
than interrupting the drive.
Seven tests pin the table against the two lists that cannot import it, so the
next kind added in one place and forgotten in another fails a test instead of
quietly counting as a destination.
The page reaches into routeAlternatives.open, roadtripRoutes.lines and
roadtripVias.byDay before it ever asks whether road trip mode is on, so a
fixture without them took all 47 wiring cases down with "Cannot read properties
of undefined". The mode stays off, which is the state every assertion here is
written against.
The car branch prints the endpoint chain whenever it holds two entries, which
an ordinary rental always does: picked up and returned at the same desk. The
printout then reads "Munich Airport -> Munich Airport", where before there was
no car branch at all and the line simply stayed empty.
Consecutive repeats now collapse and a chain naming one place only is dropped.
A genuine round trip keeps both ends, because Dresden sits between them.
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.
The road trip corridor asks for fuel, charging, rest areas and campsites over a
dozen boxes, and asking per category was four times the requests for the same
answer — slow, and four times the chance a shared Overpass mirror times out and
reports the stretch as unsearched.
`category` now takes a comma-separated list. Each OSM selector belongs to exactly
one category, so a hit is still labelled with the kind it answered, and the
result cap is shared out per category so one dense kind can't crowd the rest.
The MCP tool takes an array for the same reason.
Also puts the POI, plugin and route via-point pins on the map's render clock,
the same fix the planned-place pins already had: a library marker repositions on
every pointer sample while the canvas draws once a frame, so the suggestions
swam during a drag and snapped back on release.
A corridor full of petrol stations was a row of identical coloured dots, and the one
thing that tells them apart is the brand. OSM carries brand:wikidata on most of them —
88% of the fuel stations in a Berlin box — Wikidata carries the logo as property P154,
and Commons serves it.
The bytes are proxied and cached rather than linked: one self-hosted instance asking
Wikimedia for a handful of logos is a very different egress profile from every
visitor's browser announcing which petrol stations they are looking at. The cache is in
memory because a GET must not write to the database, and there are only so many fuel
brands; a brand with no logo is remembered too, or every pan would ask again.
A logo-less or unreachable brand answers 204 and the pin keeps its category icon, so
nothing depends on Wikidata being reachable. Both renderers show it, since both read
the same category table.
A petrol station and a campsite both came back as the same nameless grey dot, because
the road categories only existed on the server: the map falls back to grey for a
category it does not know. They now sit in the client's category table too — with the
pump, the bolt, the parking sign and the tent, in their own colours — which both map
renderers and the popup read from the same place.
They stay out of the explore pill's own list on purpose: that pill offers what a city
visit needs, and while road trip mode is on it is not on screen anyway.
The search also stayed quiet when only some boxes failed, which reads as "no fuel on
this stretch" when the truth is that nobody looked. A partial failure now says how many
stretches went unanswered.
The corridor was built from the day's stops, so it followed straight lines across
country the car never drives. Between two cities that line runs through open fields
while the motorway swings wide of it, which is why every hit came back sitting on a
stop rather than on the way.
The days now carry the routed geometry, and the corridor is cut from that. Same trip,
same search: 192 hits spread over the whole 482 km — first fifty, middle, and the last
stretch — where before all of them reported kilometre zero.
Following real roads takes more boxes to cover the same drive, so they go out three at
a time instead of strictly one after another, and the budget rises from ten to sixteen.
The panel head loses the sentence explaining what the sections below already say, and
the day's distance and driving time, which the day list has been showing all along.
Three things the first cut got wrong.
Switching into road trip mode took its time: every leg was its own routing request,
paced a second apart so the shared hosts would answer at all. The router already
returns a leg per consecutive pair of the waypoints it is handed, so a day is now one
request — split only where the travel mode changes, because one request carries one
mode. Answers that come from the cache are no longer paced at all, which is what made
returning to the view feel broken.
A list of petrol stations is half an answer: which one is on your side of the road is
the other half. The corridor search therefore moved out of the panel into the planner,
and its hits are handed to the map like any other place suggestion — grey, because they
are not part of the trip until you add one. The explore pill stands down while the mode
is on: it draws into the same channel and answers the same question for a drive.
The panel itself was a stack of controls without an order. It now reads as header,
search, results: what is being searched (with the day's distance and driving time),
what is being looked for, how far off the route, then the hits grouped by kind with a
count — and a progress bar while the boxes are being worked through.
The road trip mode could show the route but not what sits beside it, which is
half of what planning a drive is about (#1797).
The right column becomes a corridor search: pick what you need, pick how far off
the route you will go for it, and the day's drive is searched box by box. The
boxes come from the route itself rather than the viewport, so the answer is
"on the way", not "on screen"; each hit reports how far off the route it lies
and how far into the drive it comes, and adding one opens the normal place form
so it lands on the day like any other stop.
Overpass is asked in plain bounding boxes rather than with a polyline filter,
because that is what the existing /api/maps/pois route accepts and what the
mirrors can answer; the geometry work is pure and tested. Long routes stop at ten
boxes and say so instead of quietly searching half the drive.
Fuel, charging, rest areas and campsites join the server's POI categories, so the
explore pill and the MCP search_pois tool gain them too. A car booking's stops now
also reach the PDF, which printed pick-up and return with everything in between
missing.
The trip planner could show one day's route at a time and nothing across days,
so a road trip had to be pieced together in Google Maps (#1797, #435).
The addon adds a mode to the plan view rather than a tab of its own: the map
stays the workspace and gains the route over the whole trip, while the left rail
becomes one chain of stops with the driving distance and time between them and
arrival times that follow from them. A time pinned on a stop is kept and restarts
the chain, so a ferry or a museum ticket stays where the user put it.
Car bookings can finally carry the stops the schema has always allowed: the
endpoints table has held role/sequence for every transport type since #384, but
only flights and trains had an editor for them. The MCP tools already accepted
them, so this closes the gap the other way round.
Legs are fetched one at a time and spaced out — the public routing hosts answer a
whole trip's worth of requests with 429 — and the distance cap now looks at the
single leg instead of the sum, which is what dropped long drives entirely.
Attribution first, because this branch argues the point itself: the card names
the sources with the comment that naming them is a licence obligation rather
than decoration, and the copy beside it promises that every field says where it
came from. The POI path then stamped Overture rows as OpenStreetMap. Overture is
not OpenStreetMap — it carries OSM among other sources under other licences — so
that is a wrong attribution rather than a rounded one. The wire contract keeps
`source` an open string and nothing on the client switches on it, so saying
`trek-places` costs nothing. The MCP tool description no longer calls itself an
OpenStreetMap tool either, and says which source answered.
Adding one place cost two round trips to the index. The details lookup fetches
the place and its answer carries the description; toPlaceRecord dropped that
field, so the enrichment fetched the same place again a moment later to read it.
It is carried through now and read from what the caller already has, with the
second lookup left as the fallback for when there is nothing to read.
That description's source URL becomes an href on the client and was taken on
`typeof === 'string'` alone. It now goes through the same allow-list a place's
website goes through — the file already does this for menu_url, with the comment
explaining why — so anything but http(s) loses the link and keeps the text.
The instance token was hashed from raw APP_URL, which the shipped compose file
leaves commented out. Every default install therefore sent the same token, and a
token every caller shares is not a caller: one instance running a large import
would rate-limit all the others, who would fall back to Nominatim with nothing
to point at. getAppUrl() falls through to ALLOWED_ORIGINS and then to the port,
so unconfigured instances still differ.
Two client-side leaks. A pick made out of the offline cache was recorded into
the shadow corpus, where it moved the two figures the corpus exists to
measure — and offline is a setting, so the network is usually reachable and the
row landed. And the prefetch never re-checked the session after its request came
back: a logout in that window repoints the handle at the anonymous database, so
one person's trip area was written where the next person's offline search reads.
The cache path also ignored the abort signal, so an answer for a keystroke two
keystrokes old could overwrite a newer suggestion list. It rejects the way both
surfaces already know to swallow.
Left alone, and said in a comment rather than hidden: the index cannot localise.
The Overpass path picks name:<lang> and falls back to int_name; the service has
no language parameter at all, so a German reader exploring Tokyo gets the
Japanese primary names on this path.
Three things an install feels rather than reads.
A service that cannot be reached cost the full timeout on every call. Each call
site falls back to the old path, but pays 3.5 s first — so an instance behind a
firewall that drops rather than refuses, or one that simply has no route to the
service, pays it on every keystroke of autocomplete and on all three queries a
booking import runs per venue. Ten venues is over a hundred seconds of waiting
for an answer that was never coming. A process-wide breaker now fails instantly
after four consecutive failures and tries again a minute later, so an
unreachable index costs one timeout instead of one per request. A 404 does not
count against it, because "no such place" is an answer, and neither does an
oversized body, because the service replied.
The offline place cache hung off the map-tile switch. That setting is about
tiles — its own text says "off keeps the cache to trip data + documents only" —
and it gets turned off for space, tens of megabytes of it. A trip's places are
about one. Somebody who turned tiles off therefore got an empty offline search
with no explanation, and "prepare for offline" reported success having stored no
place at all. The two run independently now; the tile progress phase stays gated
on the tile setting, so a run without tiles still reports no tile phase.
Tests for the merged search path, which had none: the wiring around
mergeSearchResults was uncovered, so which list goes in first and what `source`
says were both free to change. Neither is cosmetic — index-first is the whole
point of the feature, and the search log writes `source` into the corpus a
candidate index gets scored against later. Two of the eight cases pin the fix
from the previous commit: an index failure keeps the OpenStreetMap answer, and
neither source is asked twice.
place-shadow lands on its own coverage entry rather than the 80 catch-all, where
a new domain could shed twenty points unnoticed. Pinned under its measured
figure on purpose; the exact ratchet gets regenerated with the repo's own script
after a full run.
trek_places_enabled was read by six call paths — search, autocomplete, the POI
pills, booking-import geocoding, the offline area and details resolution — and
written by nothing. No admin route, no MCP tool, no switch anywhere in the UI,
and the key is not in the settings allow-lists either, so the only way to set it
was an INSERT against app_settings by hand on the server.
That matters more than the four switches beside it, which trade away quota. This
one decides whether every search and every keystroke in the place box leaves the
instance at all. The flag reads fail-open, so an install that upgrades without
visiting the admin panel starts sending them, which is the right default and
exactly why the operator needs somewhere to say no.
Adds the pair symmetrically to place-shadow from the same branch: getTrekPlaces
/updateTrekPlaces on AddonsService, GET/PUT /api/admin/trek-places with an audit
row, and a real switch on the card. The read stays fail-open so it keeps
agreeing with MapsService.trekPlacesEnabled(), and a test pins that agreement
across every stored value — if those two ever diverge the panel shows "off"
while the queries keep leaving, which is worse than either default.
The card said this itself: `available` was a display-only prop whose comment
read "False until the client is wired to the service; the card then says so
instead of offering a switch that would do nothing." It is wired now, so the
prop is a switch. Its two badge strings had been shipped to all 23 locales and
rendered nowhere; they make way for the switch label and a line naming what
answers while the index is off.
Six things the merged search and the offline cache got wrong.
An index failure took the OpenStreetMap answer down with it. Only the OSM half
of the Promise.all had a catch, so a rejection on the index side discarded ten
results that had already arrived and sent the same query to Nominatim a second
time, behind its 1.1 s process-wide throttle. The index refusing a query is
ordinary traffic rather than an outage — a common single word without
coordinates is turned down upstream as too expensive — so this fired in normal
use. Each side now catches its own failure, and the keyless fallback reuses the
answer OpenStreetMap already gave instead of asking again for a list that
cannot have changed.
Dedup never fired for a non-Latin name. namesOverlap splits on [^a-z0-9], so
長谷寺, Кремль and مسجد الشيخ زايد all tokenise to nothing and the function
returned false — the same place came back once from each source, one row under
the other, and picking either gave it a different id. That is the corpus this
whole feature was measured on. Two names with no Latin words are now compared
strictly, folded through NFKC so the width variants the sources disagree on
still match; sharing a character is deliberately not enough, because deduping
東京タワー against 東京タワー駅前郵便局 would swallow a real result.
expand=1 answered nothing for an index place while expand=0 answered in full.
The expanded lookup degrades OSM ids to the plain one and had no branch for the
new family, so the richer request was the poorer one, over REST and MCP alike.
The bias circle could exceed Google's 50 km ceiling. A trip spread over more
than that produced a radius Google rejects outright, turning a search into an
error toast. Clamped on both sides — the client because it draws the box, the
server because the radius arrives over the wire.
The offline cache was rebuilt on every sync and never deleted. syncTrip wrote
its meta row with put(), which replaced the whole record and dropped the
fingerprint saying the cached area was current, so every login, reconnect and
manual sync re-downloaded megabytes that had not changed. And clearTripData
never touched areaPlaces, so a trip switched off for offline use kept answering
offline searches and its rows stayed for the life of the install.
clearCachedPlaces, which claimed to do that job, was called from nowhere; its
only test asserted with .every() on an empty table and passed on nothing.
Picking an offline suggestion ended in an error toast. The details lookup had
no cache path, so it failed and the callers fell back to searching for
"name, address" — which the cache matches on the folded name alone, so it found
nothing for a place that was sitting right there. A miss stays a miss.
When details fails to resolve a picked suggestion the sheet falls back to a
text search (#1192). That call was the one search left in the sheet without a
location hint, so the fallback could land on an identically named place in
another country - exactly what the hint exists to prevent, on the path taken
when the first hop already failed.
useLocationBias reads useTripStore; the sheet's harness only ever built a
planner prop. So the hook saw an empty store, sent no hint, and the one case
that asserts a box went red while its three siblings passed vacuously - they
expect undefined, which an empty store produces no matter what they seed.
capturedBias now seeds places, assignments and selectedDayId the way the
running app has them, which puts all four cases back to work. The 500km case
is retargeted from Tokyo/Sapporo to Tokyo/Nagoya: 264km across, biased under
the old diagonal rule and dropped under the 60km radius one, so it guards the
rule that actually shipped. A new 029b pins the day-first precedence - a trip
too wide to bias still hints at the day being planned.
The three AdminPage cases located the card with closest('.bg-white'), which
returned null once the card became bg-surface-card, and within(null) reports
that a line later as "container is null". Anchor on .rounded-xl, the same way
the green AdminSettingsTab suite already does, and ask for the single Test
button rather than the first of several: weather left the card when it stopped
needing a key.
FE-ADMSET-031 asserted the Open-Meteo panel inside that card. The panel was
deliberately removed from the desktop tab - it needs no key and had nothing to
configure - so the case now pins what took its place, the TREK index heading
the card with the recommendation the Google key used to carry. The panel itself
still lives in the mobile section, where FE-MOB-ASET-019 asserts it.
MapsSearchDto validates a locationBias and MapsService passes it through, but
no caller ever sent one. That gap is the whole difference between the numbers
in this PR and what the software does. Measured against a live instance over
the 127 places of a real trip, searching each by name:
without a hint 50.0% -> 54.8% top-5
with a hint 50.0% -> 73.0% top-5 (this PR reports 72.7%)
mess/eval_merge.mjs sends lat/lng on every index call and a viewbox to
Nominatim; the client sent neither. Without coordinates the index refuses
common queries as too expensive and contributes to 41% of searches instead of
100%, so the merge degenerates to Nominatim alone.
The hint has to be NARROW, which is the part that is easy to get wrong. Same
corpus, same instance, varying only how the box is derived:
no hint 54.8% top-5, 38.1% at rank 1
box around the whole trip 57.1% top-5, 17.5% at rank 1
box around the nearest few places 70.6% top-5, 34.9% at rank 1
A box spanning a round trip has its centre in open country between the cities.
It points at nothing and costs more than half the rank-1 hits. useLocationBias
therefore prefers the day being planned, falls back to the trip only while it
still fits inside one region, and drops the hint past a 60km radius rather
than sending a misleading one.
This also replaces the two hand-rolled copies of the bounding box in the
planner dialog and the phone sheet, which shared a defect: Number(null) is 0,
so a place without coordinates entered the box as the Gulf of Guinea and
stretched it across the planet.
An offline instance had the trip's own places and nothing else, so "find
a pharmacy near the hotel" had nothing to answer from: every lookup went
to a server.
The index can hand over a bounding box in one request, so it does, once,
next to the map tiles. A trip to Rostock is roughly a megabyte, refreshed
only when the trip's area actually moves. Search and autocomplete fall
back to it at the API layer, which is why all ten call sites got the
offline path without any of them learning about it, and the answer says
`source: 'offline-cache'` rather than pretending to be live.
Country packages stay what they were: a SQLite file for anyone who would
rather run their own copy of the service. A browser cannot query one
without shipping a WASM SQLite, and Germany alone would not fit in
IndexedDB, so that door stays where it belongs. /v1/packages lists them,
because "you can leave" only means something if the door is visible.
Overture has no descriptions, and the encyclopaedias only describe the
places that have an article, which is a fraction of a percent. What
Overture does have is the address of the page the description is on, for
43 percent of places, and those pages publish a summary in JSON-LD or
og:description precisely so machines can read it.
The API fetches each page once and keeps the summary; every instance
reads it from there. TREK never opens a business's website itself, which
would mean one request per instance per place against small servers.
In the ladder it sits below the encyclopaedias and above Google: an
article about this exact place beats the operator's own copy, but for a
restaurant or a shop the operator's summary is the only one that exists.
Credited by host and linked back, with no licence claimed.
The corpus behind "is our own index good enough to replace Nominatim".
When somebody searches and then picks a result, the client posts the query,
the rank and the pick. Nothing else: no user, no trip, no session, and
coordinates only to three decimals.
Deliberately decoupled from the search endpoint. Correlating a response
with a later pick would mean handing out a ticket on POST /api/maps/search
and threading it through all fifteen call sites; the client already holds
everything the row needs at the moment of the pick.
Evaluation happens offline afterwards: export the corpus, run it against a
candidate index, count how often the pick came back in the top five. That
is why collection can start before such an index exists, which is the whole
point, because the corpus needs weeks of real use and the index needs a
server, and those two waits should not be serial.
Off unless an admin switches it on, and it reads === 'true' rather than
!== 'false'. The three older places switches fail open because a migration
backfilled a row for installs already using them; nothing uses this one, so
an instance that upgrades and never visits the admin panel logs nothing.
Reading is admin only, retention is 180 days, and the switch state is on the
unauthenticated app-config endpoint on purpose: whether an instance records
what its users search for is something a visitor may know before logging in.
The card was a flat list: two key fields, four Google switches and a large
weather panel, all at the same level. That gave a switch you set once the
same weight as the key it depends on, and gave the loudest treatment on the
page to the one thing with nothing to configure.
Now three comparable provider blocks. The TREK index carries the accent and
the recommendation, because a key should be the exception rather than the
expected setup. Google carries no border badge, so it does not stand out,
and says plainly what it costs beyond money. Weather has left the card: it
needs no key and had nothing to set.
The "recommended" badge moved from Google to the index, which is the whole
point of the change.
Also here, and both are their own thing:
- The settings tab is two columns from xl up. Nearly every card is "label
left, switch right", so the middle stayed empty while the page scrolled
for ages. Explicit columns rather than a grid over the flat list, because
a grid pairs cards row by row and leaves a hole under the shorter one,
and these differ by hundreds of pixels.
- Pictures: the nearby fallback drops from 300m to 60m and is skipped
entirely for shops and gastronomy. Measured across 600 places in six
cities, 2 percent of ordinary businesses have a picture on Wikimedia
against 70 percent of churches, so for a cafe the curated rungs never
fire and the fallback always does. That is how the town hall ended up
over the doner shop. It fails open on an unknown category, so landmarks
keep the fallback that works for them.
vite.config reads the dev port and the API target from the environment,
defaulting to what they were. Several worktrees could not run side by side.
Transitous has no GTFS coverage for much of Asia, so a search between two
Osaka subway stops finds nothing — the stops are not in the feed at all.
Add Google as an optional backend behind an admin setting, reusing the
install's existing Places key, and fall back to Transitous whenever no
key resolves.
Uses the Routes API rather than the legacy Directions endpoint the
request named: every other Google call here already speaks the
v1/X-Goog-Api-Key family, and Google closed the legacy endpoint to Cloud
projects created after March 2025.
Google returns walking as turn-by-turn navigation steps where MOTIS
returns one leg per walking segment, so consecutive walk steps are
coalesced into a single leg — otherwise a finely-sliced walk pushed a
real journey past the 20-leg cap and the whole itinerary was dropped.
Both responses now name the backend that answered. The fallback is
silent by design, which left an empty result ambiguous between "no data
here" and "the provider you picked never ran", and the admin panel warns
when Google is selected but no key resolves — or when only the admin's
own key is set, which serves them and nobody else.
Cost shaped the implementation, since Google bills where Transitous does
not: both field masks are cut to the cheapest SKU tier that still
answers the question, cache TTLs are longer than the Transitous path's,
and route alternatives ride along inside the already-billed request.
Addresses #1699
A grid item defaults to min-width:auto, so the two date cells never went below
the width of their contents: a long locale date plus the keyboard button beside
it pushed each cell past its track, and on a phone the end date came to sit on
top of the start date with its own button clipped off the edge. Measured on a
412px viewport, the row overflowed its container by 30px.
Both cells get min-w-0 so the track wins, and the picker's own trigger gets it
too, which is what finally lets the ellipsis it already carries do its job
rather than the button simply growing. "12. Sept. 2026" now reads "12. Sept…"
in a narrow column instead of escaping it.
Keeping the locale format: the report suggests ISO 8601, but the date is
formatted from the user's language everywhere in the app, and the overlap is
the layout, not the wording.
Two suites encoded the behaviour this branch changes: MReservationSheet
asserted the literal metadata: null the forms no longer send, and the new
Your-share case reached for a label that is a card footer rather than a
heading.
Five findings from auditing the release branch, none of them a blocker for it,
all of them things it would have shipped with.
The mirrored booking price only survived an edit when the form happened to fill
metadata of its own. Both reservation forms and the phone sheet sent
`metadata: null` whenever the form had no metadata key to send, and null clears
the column outright — so restaurant, event, tour, parking, other, a hotel with
no check-in times and a transport with no carrier details all lost the price
again on the next save. They send the object now: it still clears what the form
dropped, and the server carries the price across (#2233).
Your share counted expenses nobody has paid for, while the balances right below
it stopped counting them. The tile contradicted the panel it sits in (#2225).
App.tsx kept its own list of routes that must not mount authed-only widgets, and
it had already drifted from the one the response interceptor uses: this one
named /public/journey/, that one covers all of /public/. It reads
isAuthPublicPath now, so a route cannot be public to one and not the other.
LLM_TIMEOUT_MS and TREK_PLUGINS_IGNORE_TREK_RANGE shipped in .env.example but
not in the compose file most installs actually read.
And a typo in the Russian offline copy: Завершёна → Завершена.
The phone map filters down to one day and had no way back out. The chip
rail can only swap one day for another, the second tap on the active chip
is the day sheet, and the seed guard deliberately does not re-seed — so a
day picked on the map stayed picked until you left the trip and came back
(#2257). Desktop has had the deselect since the day header got it.
Its own round control beside the rail, map view only: the plan timeline is
single-day, so there is nothing to widen there, and the day sheet keeps the
one route into it that also exists on the map. It toggles — the first press
parks the day it came from and frames the whole trip, the second puts that
day back with its route, or falls back to the focus day if a remote delete
retired it in between. Leaving the map restores it too, since an empty
timeline would be the worse answer.
The Leaflet mock had no getCenter, so the new guard bailed out of every
draw and FE-COMP-JOURNEYMAP-046/047 went red. Give the mock a loaded map
by default and add FE-COMP-JOURNEYMAP-050, which takes the view away for
exactly the window #2254 hit: render must survive it drawing nothing, and
the moveend listener must still put the thumbnail up once fitBounds lands.
Public journey pages ≥1024px render the sticky sidebar map immediately with photos, before the deferred fitBounds/setView lands, causing latLngToContainerPoint to throw "Set map center and zoom first."
SystemNoticeHost, BackgroundTasksWidget, and save-to-collection were gated only on login/register/password routes, so anonymous visitors to /shared/:token and /public/journey/:token still mounted them and hit system-notices/active with no session, logging a 401 on every visit.
Three reports from the same week, all "the layout is in my way".
#2247 — the Plan tab shows both side panels from 768px up, unconditionally.
A Pixel 10 Pro Fold unfolded is ~860 CSS px, so 340 + 300 of panel left the
map a 200px strip; those same widths became fit padding, shrinking the
framing window to 140px and opening the camera two zoom levels out over half
of East Asia. The floating POI/compass cluster is centred on the viewport at
z-25, which at that width put it on top of both collapse tabs (z-1 inside
z-20 containers) and on the Add Place/Activity button — and its pills set
pointer-events: auto, so it ate the taps meant for them. The resize handles
are mousedown-only, so a touch user could not narrow anything either.
Between 768 and 1023px only one panel is open now, the day plan first, the
places list one tap away — the Google Maps shape the reporter asked for. The
collapse flags stay the wide-layout state, so a fold back restores what was
there, and a marker tap reopening "both" no longer re-crowds the screen. The
control cluster centres on the corridor the panels leave (the formula
PlaceInspector and DayDetailPanel already use), the tabs finally have
accessible names, the dead resize handles go, and a panel dragged to 520px on
a desktop is clamped so the map keeps 360px without touching the stored
width. computeMapViewport refuses to frame for less than a third of the box,
so absurd padding can never pick the zoom again.
#2248 — the public journey hero clips its own overflow to keep its
decorative circles from widening the document, which also amputated the
language menu at the hero's bottom edge: 8 of 23 locales, the rest
unreachable. Both share pages inlined the same menu, so it is one component
now, portalled to the body and anchored to its trigger the way CustomSelect
is, with a height cap and its own scroll. It closes on Escape and on an
outside click, which it never did, and `zh-TW` stops labelling itself 简体中文.
#2249 — the note row's pencil/trash pill is absolutely positioned over the
row's own reorder chevrons, and a coarse-pointer `opacity: 1 !important`
pinned it permanently visible on tablets. On a mouse it was no better: the
chevrons are revealed on hover, which is exactly when the opaque pill covers
them, so note reordering has never been clickable on any pointer. The pill is
gone; the row opens the note the way the phone shell already does, and delete
lives in that dialog behind the same confirmation. A link in the note body
keeps its own tap, on both shells.

POST /api/addons/collections answers with the collection itself — the
controller returns the service's `Collection` straight through, and the e2e
suite pins that shape. The client declared a `{ collection }` envelope and
read `.collection` off it, so `createCollection()` resolved `undefined` and
handed back `null` every single time.
The caller needs that id. In the list editor and its phone sheet the id is
what the cover upload and `onCreated` hang off, so creating a list with a
cover picked in the same dialog silently dropped the image, the new list was
never opened or selected afterwards, and the retry guard that exists to stop
a failed cover step from minting a duplicate was dead. The list itself still
appeared, because `loadAll()` runs first — which is why this went unnoticed.
Nothing caught it because both test layers stubbed the shape the client
believed in rather than the one the server sends: the api suite's MSW
handlers wrapped the collection in an envelope, and the store suite's mock
resolved one too. Both now answer the way the controller does, `update()`
included — its declared type was wrong for the same reason, though no caller
reads its result.
The fix is on the client. That wire shape has shipped for as long as
Collections has existed and the server e2e test pins it, so changing that
side would be the breaking one.
The envelope fix routes the created place through the store, which offline
mints a NEGATIVE temp id: reservations have no offline write path, the
mutation queue rewrites temp ids in a URL but never inside another entity's
body, and day_accommodations.place_id carries a foreign key. So a
forced-offline save (the Settings toggle sets the flag while the network is
still live) reached the server with place_id: -1758..., failed the FK inside
the insert transaction and rolled the whole booking back into a 500 — where
dev merely saved it unlinked. Worse, the temp place is in `places` by then,
so every retry matched the same negative id and the booking stayed unsavable
for the rest of the session.
Offline the function now links nothing at all and skips the geocode too: the
booking cannot be written either way, so minting a place would only leave an
orphan behind on the next flush. The name-match arm rejects temp ids for the
same reason. `as never` is gone from the addPlace argument, and
placesApi.create finally declares its `{ place }` return type — an untyped
`r.data` is what let the envelope be misread in the first place.
