Cancel actually cancels. "Not driving", the pause menu, the notification cancel and the stale-trip discard now land the tracker in IDLE instead of leaving it running with no recording. One sheet, one tap on a scanned stop. The Verify sheet opens as soon as the photo is taken, the reading fills in, and a verified stop no longer raises a second review modal. Toast rows no longer swallow taps. Parked Bluetooth re-find no longer starts a trip. Inside 3 minutes of a stop, a re-found car device with the car still stationary is held until you move (about 5 mph). A real departure whose first GPS fix is slower than that starts on movement; after 3 minutes with no movement the held start is dropped. Relaunch after a long gap resumes GPS instead of freezing the tracker behind a prompt that was never shown. You still end the trip yourself. Driving off right after a save starts the next trip. The start signal that arrives during saving is held and re-submitted once idle. A stop sheet left open when the app goes to the background releases its hold, so automatic starts and stops are never stranded. Trips saved offline keep their date, timestamps and status. A replay never counts as "needs review" while being invisible in the list, and never un-reviews a trip you already reviewed. "Trips needing review" count now uses the same query as the list. A car device found in the first 15 seconds after launch still starts the trip once the grace period ends. Recovery after an interrupted save no longer creates a duplicate of a trip already saved under another id. False "X mi unaccounted" toast on native auto trips removed. It shows only for scanned-odometer trips.
