Dylan 342a8f8382 Break v3 into 16 tickets
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.

# V3-09 — Follow a planned route while riding
**Phase** Route planning · **Depends on** V3-04, V3-08 · **Size** M · **Status** Not started
## Goal
Pick a saved route before starting, see it on the live map underneath your actual track,
and afterwards compare what you rode against what you planned.
## Context
The payoff that makes V3-07 and V3-08 worth building, and the point where route planning
meets the live map. Not navigation — no turn-by-turn, no voice. Just the line you meant to
follow, drawn under the line you actually rode.
## Design
Attach an optional `routeId` to `Trip`. That is enough for both the live overlay and the
after-the-fact comparison.
Live: the planned route in a muted colour, the recorded track drawn over it in the existing
speed colours. Immediately obvious when you have left the plan.
Afterwards, on trip detail: both lines, plus how far you deviated and how the real duration
compared with the estimate — which also, over time, tells you how honest the ETA is.
**Deliberately not:** rerouting, off-route alerts, or anything that demands attention while
riding. A rider glancing at handlebars wants a picture, not an interruption.
## Implementation
1. `routeId` on `Trip` — **third migration**
2. Route picker on the record screen before Start, defaulting to none
3. Live map renders the planned polyline beneath the track
4. Trip detail renders both, with a comparison block
5. Deviation: max and mean distance from the recorded points to the planned polyline —
`perpendicularDistanceMeters` already exists and is parity-proven
## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] A route can be selected before starting, or not
- [ ] Both lines render, visually distinguishable
- [ ] Deviation and duration-vs-estimate appear on trip detail
- [ ] A ride with no route behaves exactly as today
- [ ] Deleting a route does not delete rides that referenced it
## Tests
- Deviation maths against a known track and route
- Repository: deleting a route nulls `routeId` rather than cascading to the trip —
**the cascade direction here is the opposite of segments and is easy to get wrong**
- Widget: both polylines present when a route is attached
## Risks
The `Route` → `Trip` foreign key must **not** cascade. Deleting an old plan must never
delete the ride you did.
## Out of scope
Turn-by-turn, off-route alerts, rerouting.
