+Wenn eine verfügbare Routingquelle keinen passenden Graphen enthält, liefert
+die API bewusst `422 no_fairway_route`, damit keine irreführende Luftlinie als
+Bootsroute gezeichnet wird. Start, Zwischenziele und Ziel werden höchstens
+150 m vom Graphen entfernt zugeordnet. Die ausgegebene Liniengeometrie
+beginnt und endet am tatsächlichen Fahrwasser-Snap; eine ungeprüfte gerade
+Zufahrt vom angeklickten Punkt wird nicht als befahrbare Route ausgegeben.
+`routeSnaps` enthält dafür Originalpunkt, Snap-Punkt und Abstand. Ab 10 m
+erscheint zusätzlich ein sichtbarer Hinweis. `alternatives` im Ergebnis
+enthält bis zu zwei weitere, topologisch unterschiedliche Optionen. Wird das
+feste Rechenbudget in einem außergewöhnlich dichten Fahrwassernetz ohne
+belastbares Ergebnis erreicht, antwortet die API ausdrücklich mit
+`422 fairway_search_limited`, statt fälschlich „keine Route“ zu behaupten.
