+ * guidance.ts — THE turn-by-turn guidance brain: the pure D-04 reroute state
+ * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * machine, route projection, and the named replay-tuned constants (D-04/D-16).
+ *
+ * Everything guidance BEHAVES like is decided here and nowhere else: when a
+ * deviation becomes an off-route, when a missed turn shortens the grace, when
+ * a reroute may be requested (storm guard), when haptics fire, when the trip
+ * has arrived. Plans 05/06 render and wire these decisions — they never
+ * re-decide them. The module is a pure reducer over immutable snapshots:
+ *
+ *   createGuidanceSession(model, firstFix, nowMs) -> GuidanceSnapshot
+ *   stepGuidance(snap, event, nowMs) -> { snap, effects }
+ *
+ * with GuidanceEvent = fix | reroute-started | reroute-failed | reroute-applied
+ * and GuidanceEffect = haptic(approach|maneuver|arrive) | reroute-requested |
+ * arrival. An injected clock (nowMs) and the Fix stream make every transition
+ * replay-verifiable in Node in seconds (the D-16 fixtures).
+ *
+ * STATE GRAPH (D-04):
+ *   idle --(fix >= GUIDANCE_START_ALONG_M along)--> on_route
+ *   on_route/resuming --(N consecutive off-threshold fixes spanning the grace)
+ *       --> off_route  + reroute-requested (storm-guard permitting)
+ *   off_route --(fix projects back inside the threshold)--> resuming --> on_route
+ *   (controller events) off_route -> rerouting -> on_route | no_reroute
+ *
+ * The threshold is accuracy-aware: max(35, 2 x accuracyM) capped at 100 —
+ * a noisy fix gets a wider honest corridor, never a false reroute. After a
+ * reroute-applied, deviation is measured against the NEW model ONLY, from its
+ * first segment (RESEARCH Pitfall 6 — the reroute-storm guard). While the
+ * storm guard holds, a re-confirmed excursion stays silent: no effect, no
+ * off_route — the banner stays calm, no blame.
+ *
+ * PRIVACY (T-06-05, structural): on-route fixes never leave the device. The
+ * ONLY network-bound position is the reroute-requested effect's origin — one
+ * point, on a real excursion, snapped server-side by engine A (D-05). There
+ * is no console, no DOM, no maplibre, no storage, no fetch in this module —
+ * gated by the replay suite's structural case (RS10 analog).
+ *
+ * All displayed distances flow from the route model's cumulative field via
+ * projection — never raw fix-to-destination distance (D-07). Deviation
+ * distances are haversine meters (one distance authority — geo.ts), never
+ * raw degree deltas (RESEARCH Pitfall 8).
