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.
Reads fail-open, unlike the three older places_* switches. Those read
=== 'true', which is why migration 185 had to backfill a row on every existing
install; there is nothing here that warrants repeating that.
The three hand-rolled toggles next to it move to ToggleSwitch while I am in
there - they were bare buttons with an inline transform and no aria-pressed or
label, so a screen reader could not tell their state.
