Per request: V3-08's routing-engine direction is decided (self-hosted OSRM over a hosted API or the public demo instance) but standing one up is split into its own ticket, V3-17, since provisioning a server is different work from the app code that calls it. V3-08 and V3-09 are marked Deferred pending V3-17.
V3-17 also names a real tension worth flagging rather than quietly ignoring: this backlog's own organizing principle is 'v3 is everything buildable with no server,' and a self-hosted OSRM instance is a server -- so V3-08/V3-09 sit oddly under docs/v3/ once V3-17 exists. Left unresolved by design (a documentation call for later), noted in both V3-17 and BACKLOG.md's v4 section rather than silently renumbering tickets that are already cross-referenced throughout the docs.
One file per feature, in the v2 shape that worked: goal, context, design,
implementation, acceptance criteria, tests, risks, out of scope -- written before
implementing so the risks are on paper rather than walked into.
Three carry more weight than their size suggests. V3-01 ships the port's first
real migration, and since the destructive fallback is gone, getting addColumn and
a v1-database test right matters more than the feature. V3-08 forces a
routing-engine decision with ongoing cost, so it sits behind a RoutingService
interface mirroring what LocationSource did for GPS. V3-13 is not code at all --
it answers the three questions open since v2, and V3-15 may close unbuilt as a
result, which is a legitimate outcome.
Several tickets record constraints that are easy to lose: no activity picker in
front of Start, because the founding premise is press-and-go with gloves; the
Route-to-Trip foreign key must not cascade, or deleting an old plan deletes the
ride; V3-14 will deliberately break the parity harness by adding GPX <type>, and
that expectation should be updated rather than the check dropped; and V3-16 must
not regress the explicit text colours that exist because of the black-on-black bug.
