Maurice 7da0080557 docs(wiki): bring the wiki in line with 4.0.0 (#2034)
* docs(wiki): correct the install and operations pages for 4.0.0

Quick Start passed docker an empty ENCRYPTION_KEY: an assignment prefix is not
expanded on the same command line, so the server silently generated its own key
instead of taking the one the page told you to set. The tag examples pinned to
the 3.x line, the documented tmpfs size did not match the shipped compose file,
and several .env values were described as reaching the container when compose
never interpolates them.

* docs(wiki): match the MCP reference to the registered surface

The scope table was missing the whole Collections group and the totals said 27
scopes across 13 groups where the code registers 29 across 14. The Cloudflare
link on the setup page pointed at an anchor on its own page instead of the
heading on Troubleshooting.

* docs(wiki): correct the plugin and admin pages

Three links to Plugin-Development carried a .md suffix, which does not resolve on
the wiki. The admin pages described tabs, permissions and storage behaviour that
had moved on.

* docs(wiki): bring the feature pages back in line with the app

Costs still documented the old panel, where categories could be added, renamed,
reordered and deleted; they are fixed now and the panel is a day-grouped ledger
with settlements. Trip sharing, journeys, maps, packing, reservations and the
account pages had all drifted in the same way.

* docs(wiki): cover the pages the first pass did not reach

The MCP catalog listed 168 of the 201 registered tools; the settlement tools and
rate_place were missing here and the Collections family from the addon page.
Several resource rows claimed a trips:* scope where the handler asks for
trips:read.

* docs(wiki): tighten the corrections a review picked apart

The audit-log resource is the row id, not the credential id; an admin password
reset does not bump password_version the way the page implied; and a few of the
new paragraphs described behaviour more confidently than the code supports.

* docs(wiki): fix what a last read-through caught

Costs shows every figure in your display currency, not the trip's, and an
expense with no payer still counts against the members it is split between.
Studio's cutoff is a 1024px viewport rather than phones alone, and the
Integrations tab is gated on the providers an admin has configured.

* docs(wiki): the last few the review caught

A passkey satisfies the MFA policy everywhere except the WebSocket handshake,
which still asks for TOTP, so a passkey-only account under that policy gets no
live updates. Mobile optimizes a day from two places, not three. The ctx.db row
carried an unescaped pipe that split the table, and the Backups table linked
with a wiki link whose pipe did the same.

General Settings

The General tab (Settings → General) controls your locale preferences and a few map-related display options. All changes save immediately to your account and persist across devices.

General Settings

Where to find it

Open the user menu in the top navigation bar, select Settings, and stay on the General tab — it is the tab the page opens on.

The tab is split into three sections: Startup (where opening TREK lands), Language & region (currency, language, temperature, distance, time format) and Travel & map (booking route labels, always show booking routes, explore places on the map, blur booking codes, optimize route from accommodation).

Color mode (Light / Dark / Auto) is not here — it lives on the Appearance tab. See Appearance-Settings.

Start page

Where TREK goes when you open it — the app root (/), which is also what the installed PWA and any home-screen shortcut launch.

Option Behaviour
Dashboard (default) The trip overview, exactly as before.
Active trip Straight into your active trip, skipping the dashboard.

Your active trip is the one running today; if none is, the next one starting; if you have only past trips, the most recent one. That is the same trip the dashboard features in its hero, so the two never disagree. Archived trips are never picked, and if you have no trip at all, TREK opens the dashboard as usual.

The dashboard stays reachable at /dashboard — only the root redirects.

Start tab

Shown once Active trip is selected: which tab of the trip planner to open on. Handy when you mostly reach for one thing on the road, for example entering expenses on the Costs tab.

If the tab you picked belongs to an addon that is switched off, the trip opens on Plan instead.

Linking to a tab directly

Any trip URL accepts a tab parameter, which is what the start-tab setting uses internally. It works for bookmarks, home-screen shortcuts and wrapper apps too:

/trips/42?tab=finanzplan

The parameter takes the planner's internal tab ids, which are historic German names:

Tab Id
Plan plan
Transports transports
Bookings buchungen
Lists listen
Costs finanzplan
Files dateien
Collab collab
A trip-page plugin plugin:<plugin-id>

The parameter is consumed on arrival and disappears from the address bar; switching tabs afterwards works normally, and a reload keeps whatever tab you were last on.

Currency

Your display currency — the currency you want to read amounts in on the Costs tab (totals, the category chart, balances, settle-up). It is presentation only: it never changes what is stored, and two members of the same trip can read it in different currencies and both see correct balances.

Option Behaviour
Trip currency (default) Each trip is shown in its own currency — a Tokyo trip in yen, a Moscow trip in roubles.
A specific currency (e.g. USD) Every trip is converted into that currency for you, whatever its own currency is.

165 currencies are available. Conversion uses live rates, so a converted total can shift slightly from day to day while the trip's actual balances stay fixed.

This is not the trip's currency, which is set on the trip itself and is the base its balances are calculated in. The distinction matters — see Currencies.

An administrator can set the instance-wide default for new users in Admin → Default User Settings. Choosing Trip currency yourself overrides it.

Language

Select your preferred language from the button grid (desktop) or dropdown (mobile). The change takes effect immediately without a page reload. See Languages for the full list of supported languages.

Temperature unit

Affects the weather widget on trip days.

Option Display
°C Celsius Metric
°F Fahrenheit Imperial

Distance unit

Option Display
km Metric Kilometres
mi Imperial Miles

Time format

Affects all time displays throughout the app.

Option Example
24h 14:30
12h 2:30 PM

Booking route labels

Shows or hides station / airport names on the endpoint markers of booking routes on the map. When off, only the icon is shown. Set to On or Off.

Explore places on the map

Shows a category pill on the trip map for finding nearby restaurants, hotels and more from OpenStreetMap. Set to On or Off.

Always show booking routes

When On, every booking that has a route (flight, train, car leg, etc.) shows its route line on the map automatically, on every trip, without needing the per-booking toggle. Set to On or Off — off by default.

This only sets the default for a trip you haven't touched before. If you've already used the per-booking toggle or the trip's "show all / hide all" button (in the day-plan toolbar) on a given trip, that choice is remembered for that trip and isn't overridden by changing this setting afterwards.

Blur booking codes

When enabled, confirmation codes and reference numbers are blurred until you hover or tap. Set to On or Off.

Optimize route from accommodation

When On (the default), the Optimize button in the day's route tools anchors the route on that day's accommodation instead of only reordering the places among themselves: an ordinary day becomes a loop out from the hotel and back to it, a transfer day a run from the hotel you check out of to the one you check into that evening. Set to On or Off.

A day without an accommodation, or one whose hotel has no coordinates, is optimized from its first place as before. Locked and timed places keep their slots either way. See Route-Optimization.
