feat: wire build/test infra, trips API, and enriched journey stops

- Add tsconfig.json (server) + client/tsconfig.{json,app.json,node.json}
  so typecheck and tsc -b actually work.
- Fix npm test to run Playwright (was running vitest on Playwright specs);
  typecheck now covers both server and client.
- Mount routes before app.listen, add error handler, mount optional
  @tonycodes/auth-express middleware when AUTH_SECRET is set.
- Add /api/trips (GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE) backed by an in-memory store
  that gracefully degrades when DATABASE_URL is unset.
- Add prisma/seed.ts skeleton and server/types/express.d.ts for req.auth.
- Rewrite Grok prompt for combo-aware planning: charge+eat,
  stay+destination-charging, eat+viewpoint, etc., with amenities,
  cuisine, priceLevel, duration, day titles and trip highlights.
- Extend Stop schema + normalization to preserve all enrichment fields.
- New StopCard component renders combo pill, description, meta row
  (charge / stop / battery / cuisine / £-level) and amenity icons;
  map popups show the same enriched detail; timeline gains day titles
  and a HIGHLIGHTS sidebar.
- Fix server TS errors (vehicle accepted as string | {name,rangeKm},
  JSON parse results typed).

 - Make sure your `XAI_API_KEY` is set (otherwise you'll get very basic responses)
 - Check the backend terminal — it has extremely detailed logs
 - The app is designed so you can iterate quickly by watching the logs

+## Development & Iteration Workflow (Autonomous Loop)
+
+This project is designed for fast, autonomous iteration using Playwright.
+
+### One-Command Iteration Loop
+
+The recommended way to test and iterate is:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/iterate.sh
+```
+
+This script will:
+1. Ensure both backend and frontend are running (via `./scripts/dev.sh`)
+2. Run the fast backend diagnostic test (`smoke test`)
+3. Run the full E2E Playwright test in headed mode
+4. Open the Playwright HTML report
+5. Show the latest screenshots and video
+6. Print the most relevant backend log lines from the test window
+
+After the script finishes, review the artifacts and tell me what to fix. Then just run `./scripts/iterate.sh` again.
+
+### Fast Smoke Test (Backend Only)
+
+When you only want to quickly test if Grok is responding (without waiting for the full UI flow):
+
+```bash
+./scripts/smoke.sh
+```
+
+This runs in ~30–90 seconds and is perfect for prompt tuning or backend debugging.
+
+### Manual Commands
+
+| Command                    | Description                              |
+|---------------------------|------------------------------------------|
+| `./scripts/dev.sh`        | Start both servers (recommended)         |
+| `npm run dev`             | Start both servers (via npm)             |
+| `./scripts/iterate.sh`    | Full autonomous test + report loop       |
+| `./scripts/smoke.sh`      | Fast backend-only Grok test              |
+| `npx playwright test`     | Run all Playwright tests manually        |
+
+### Test Reports & Artifacts
+
+- Playwright HTML report: `npx playwright show-report`
+- Screenshots & videos: `test-results/`
+- Backend logs: Look in your terminal or `/tmp/tesla-roadtrip-backend.log` (if you enabled logging to file)
+
+### Workflow Summary
+
+1. Make a code or prompt change
+2. Run `./scripts/iterate.sh`
+3. Review the report + screenshots + backend logs
+4. Tell me what to fix
+5. Repeat
+
+This loop lets me drive most of the testing and debugging with minimal manual work from you.

-CRITICAL OUTPUT RULES (must follow exactly):
+Respond with **only** a single valid JSON object in exactly this format. No text before or after. No markdown.
-- When the user gives a clear origin and destination, immediately create a reasonable first-draft multi-day itinerary.
-- For every stop in the itinerary (Superchargers, hotels, attractions, etc.), you **MUST** include real latitude and longitude.
-  Use accurate coordinates for real Tesla Superchargers (examples: London Battersea ≈ 51.477, -0.17; Birmingham NEC ≈ 52.45, -1.72; Leeds Skelton Lake ≈ 53.78, -1.46).
-- The output must contain the itinerary in this **exact JSON shape** after your normal reply:

-Rules:
+Strict route planning rules:
-- Never mention the JSON in your spoken reply.
+- Plan stops in the actual order the driver will encounter them on the road.
-- Make realistic assumptions for a first draft (max 5-6h driving/day, include major Superchargers, logical overnights).
+- Choose Superchargers that are realistically reachable given the vehicle range.
-- After the draft, ask what the user wants to change.
+- Space charging stops sensibly (every 150-250km depending on route and battery).
+- Calculate realistic estArrivalBattery based on distance driven since last charge.
+- Every stop MUST have accurate real-world latitude and longitude.
+- Use realistic daily driving distances (max ~5-6 hours driving per day).
+- "message" should feel like a helpful human assistant.
+- If no clear trip is requested yet, set "itinerary" to null.
 
-Conversation:
+Combo philosophy (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART — don't skip):
+- Whenever possible, pick Superchargers that are co-located with a real restaurant, cafe, services area, supermarket, or visitor attraction. Mention what's there in "description" and tag the stop with combo: "charge + eat" (or similar).
+- Prefer hotels that offer destination charging (Tesla destination chargers, Type 2, or onsite EV charging). Tag those combo: "stay + destination charging" and add "destination-charging" to amenities.
+- For meal-time stops, look for a charger close to a great independent restaurant or cafe — not just "the Supercharger has a McDonald's next door" unless that's all there is.
+- If a stop is just a quick top-up with nothing nearby, that's fine — set combo to null and explain in description.
+- Use "durationMin" to indicate the total time at that stop (charge time + meal time, or just charging, or just dinner without charging).
+- "amenities" should be the actual on-site amenities the driver will find. Use lowercase kebab-case tokens from this set: restaurant, cafe, fast-food, supermarket, toilets, shopping, wifi, playground, ev-charging, destination-charging, hotel, coffee, viewpoint, museum, park, beach, gym, pool.
+
+Examples of great combo stops to favour when they fit the route:
+- UK: Tebay Services (M6) — independent local food + Supercharger. Gretna Green — Supercharger + outlet shopping + cafe.
+- France: Aire de Beaune (A6) — Supercharger + regional bakery + wine country.
+- Germany: Autohof Lutterberg (A7) — Supercharger + traditional restaurant.
+- Netherlands: Schoonebeek — Supercharger near restaurant cluster.
+- Switzerland: St. Gallen — Supercharger + lakeside cafe.
