The hiking costing moves to shared, so the planner and the server ask the
router the same way. The road trip router learns to plan a hike on foot
with that costing (Valhalla only: OSRM knows no trail difficulty), to read
heights along a line in chunks and to read the OSM ways a line follows,
all through its one paced queue. A hike router builds on it: the way, its
heights, distance, climb and DIN walking time, and the SAC grades of its
stretches from the trail grade service, each part best effort.
New MCP tools in HikePlanMcp, in the assistant's tours group:
- propose_hike plans a hike without saving it.
- create_hike saves a confirmed hike through the planner's own creation;
a router that does not answer leaves it pending for the planner, a way
that cannot be planned is refused and nothing is saved.
- update_tour changes a saved hike against its revision, keeping linked
stations and refusing what would silently drop drawn legs or stages.
- import_tour_gpx takes a GPX file's text in as tours, like the import.
Same permission checks as REST, broadcasts from the services.
In the assistant a new hike or city walk is an "Add tour" card with its
route and difficulty, undone through delete_place while the tour is
untouched, and a hike being planned shows as a live step.
- A card for a tool without one of its own names what it works on: the place
of an assignment, the day, the note, the booking; its arguments sit under
the labels the other cards use, a new order reads as the names in order.
28 frequent tools carry their own action name in every language.
- The server's own steps without a card still refuse, as before.
- Tests: the rate limit is asked one request after another, the mention list
closes on the caret move a browser reports, the place factory hands its
category over as a plain id, eleven files formatted.
The assistant offered 25 hand-picked tools. It now offers every tool the MCP
registry holds, but a short denylist with a reason per tool (deleting the
trip, share, invite and feed links, membership changes, fetching an address
the model picks, documents to the provider, instance-wide categories and
holidays). The scopes widen to every addon but trips:delete, the share
scopes, file contents and plugins.
- A tool annotated read-only runs at once, every other one waits as a change
card; reads that fetch a planted address wait too.
- A turn starts with the trip's core tools; use_addon_tools loads tours, road
trip, journey, vacay, atlas, collections, trip chat, files, account or
plugin tools for the rest of the turn.
- A writing tool without a card of its own gets one from its arguments:
add, change or remove, the part of TREK it works in, the trip's days,
places and people named.
- The boot check fails on a tool that shares, invites or publishes and is
neither denied nor known to only take back.
- the assistant keeps facts for a trip (remember_for_trip) as a change card,
applied into the user's trip notes; existing expenses can be changed
- change card fields as a few icon chips with the rest folded under Details,
the day band marks only what changes, the week grid as compact tiles
- no map button on receipts of things that have no place on the map
- tests follow the composer's accessible name, the receipt's status icon and
the GL map's container; the hanging stream helper honours an early abort
- Postgres probe: qualified columns in the upsert updates; entities restored
to the generator's output; strict ratchet reads the SDK client as untyped
The three AI addons share one tile in the integration column; a dialog holds
the connection, the assistant's limits and AI parsing, which now reads with
the assistant's connection unless an install keeps its own. Existing parsing
configs stay where they are and keep winning.
The chat sees the map on screen, offers next questions under an answer,
shows its live step in the window head, previews waiting changes inside the
day list, checks whether a day still works, folds a multi-day plan into a
week grid, keeps per-trip notes and can estimate costs. An empty or cut-off
answer gets one push instead of ending silently, and the assistant's own
step and size limits are raised.
Adds an in-app assistant that reads and plans the open trip. Users connect
their own provider (Sign in with ChatGPT, or an Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or
OpenRouter key) or use the one the admin set up, including a custom
OpenAI-compatible server. It is an addon and only shows while a connection
is usable.
The chat runs on the existing MCP tools, pinned to the trip. Every change is
held as a change card the user applies or discards, and applied changes can
be undone. On the desktop it is a floating window that can be moved and
resized; on the phone it is fullscreen. Search results show as place cards
that can go onto a day, weather lookups as a strip, proposed places as
ghost markers on the map with a before/after switch, and an answer can be
shared into the trip chat. Booking files can be dropped in and are read
into change cards.
