The owner is testing 4.6.2-rc2 on dev (2026-10-30). Fixes are held until their testing is finished, then queued together for rc3 along with #1282 (large maps load slowly). Findings are added here as they come.

Removing an older stop is hard to find. Every stop has Remove (and Earlier/Later), but #1275 folded the trail list by session with only the latest open, so older stops' buttons are hidden in closed groups. The owner: "make that more obvious". Proposed: a folded group says it can be opened (e.g. "Session 12 · The Salt Road · 2 stops · Show"), and choosing a stop's dot on the map opens its session's group.
The "Add a stop" searches list markers before anything is typed, which makes the dialog long and cluttered (owner's screenshot: two lists of 8 markers each, plus "N more"). Proposed: nothing is listed until you type. Before that, each search shows only "or choose a spot on the map". The one exception is a portal's linked exits, which show before typing because they're the likely answer.
