这一页是行程副驾的操作手册：任何一站、任何一份计划，发出之前必须过完下面四道闸门。每条规则下面挂着它的"出生事故"——规则不是想出来的，是撞出来的。规划页上出现的「✅ 已核实」标记，指的就是过了这套 SOP。
四道闸门
① 它开着吗——在我们到达的那一天、那一刻？
三层检查，缺一不可：(a) 没有永久关闭；(b) 当天营业（周几休息、季节性歇业）；(c) 到达时刻在营业窗口内（提前打烊、"周二才开"）。核实过的营业时间必须写在计划页上。

🪦 出生事故 ×2：Rock of Ages（开到门口才发现永久关闭，白跑一小时）；Thurston's Lobster Pound（周日到达，周二开门——"Again it is closed"）。
② 洗澡和洗衣安排了吗？
任何多日计划必须显式排入 🚿 洗澡（场地 + 时段）和 🧺 洗衣，像排充电桩一样排。PF 黑卡是主武器；没有 PF 的区域要提前声明（"北境无浴，湿巾协议"），不许让人到了才发现。

🪦 出生事故：Portland 之夜——21:45 到达，三家 PF 全部 21:00 关门，洗衣房 23:00 打烊只剩一小时。当晚全靠现场重排。
③ 天气过闸了吗？
出计划前查预报（NWS，按小时）。依赖视野的站点（山顶、观景台、观景塔）必须给出 去/不去 判定 + 雨天替代方案；瀑布峡谷类是"雨天增强型"，天差时反向加权。天气杀掉招牌站点时，主动说、主动改道。

🪦 出生事故：Cadillac 山顶 $6 开进浓雾——"All fog no view makes Ray a doll boy."（这单其实是明知 75% 降雨照赌的，但教训通用：视野站点必须挂天气闸。）
④ 能一键到达吗——今天的页面，从首页一步点到？
(a) 每天一页（/xcountry/return-dayN 这种），总页顶部放目录，只增不删，只有一个 👉TODAY；
(b) 首页 trips.slray.com 顶部永远有一张「👉 今日」卡直达当天页面——行程结束才撤下；
(c) 每一站：时间估算（含吃饭、充电、洗澡）、单点导航链接 + 可直接输入 Tesla 的地址、打卡点标明「可停」还是「开过即打卡」、🚿 和 🛏️ 位置。

🪦 出生事故：东岸营地回程那一天，首页没有任何入口，要一层层点四次才找到当天的页；横穿去程的日页目录也曾同时挂着两个 TODAY（Day 6 忘了降级）。（Ray，2026-09-03，Carlisle Walmart 停车场）
附：既有家规（SOP 的周边条款）
| 🥐 | 不吃早饭：早上咖啡+小面包，第一顿正餐排在首个大停靠点（brunch/lunch） |
| 😴 | 尊重晚睡：计划按 ~10:30 出发设计，不做"早起才成立"的方案；早起选项只作明码标价的可选项 |
| 🧭 | 导航链接只给活动点：每站给可点的单点导航；充电桩不进路书（车机自己排），除非和吃饭/健身/洗澡同址 |
| 🗂️ | 计划页只追加不删除：作废方案划线存档，页面是行程的地质层 |
| 🌇 | 全程用纽约时间，22:00 ET 前到睡觉点（= 中部 21:00 / 山地 20:00 / 亚利桑那·太平洋 19:00）：Cassie 按纽约时间上班，出发、到达、睡觉全按 ET 排，页面时间写 ET、括号里给当地时间。Ray 总比计划晚 1–2 小时，且傍晚往西开正对落日——这条规则顺便把两件事都解决了。（9/4，Wytheville 前的落日） |
| 🚿 | 每日计划自带洗澡位，像充电位一样是一等公民 |
| 🧽 | 土路之后、出片路段之前，排自助洗车（水枪，不进刷子） |
| 📸 | 照片全部亲自逐张看，不外包给任何模型 |
| 🌡️ | 温度用摄氏（或 °C/°F 双标） |
SOP 长期有效，撞出新事故就加新条款。最后更新：2026-09-03，Carlisle Walmart 之晨（加第四道闸门）。
This page is the trip copilot's operating manual: no stop and no plan ships until it clears the four gates below. Under each rule hangs its birth accident — these weren't thought up, they were crashed into. The「✅ verified」marks on planning pages mean a stop passed this SOP.
The four gates
① Is it open — on the day we arrive, at the hour we arrive?
Three layers, all mandatory: (a) not permanently closed; (b) open on that weekday (closure days, seasonal shutdowns); (c) open at the projected arrival time (early close, "opens Tuesday"). Verified hours get printed on the plan.
Three layers, all mandatory: (a) not permanently closed; (b) open on that weekday (closure days, seasonal shutdowns); (c) open at the projected arrival time (early close, "opens Tuesday"). Verified hours get printed on the plan.
🪦 Birth accidents ×2: Rock of Ages (drove to the door of a permanently closed attraction — an hour wasted); Thurston's Lobster Pound (arrived Sunday; opens Tuesday — "Again it is closed").
② Are shower and laundry scheduled?
Every multi-day plan must explicitly slot 🚿 showers (venue + time window) and 🧺 laundry, exactly like charging stops. The PF Black Card is the primary weapon; PF-void regions get declared up front ("no shower tonight — wet-wipes protocol"), never discovered on arrival.

🪦 Birth accident: the Portland night — arrived 21:45; all three PFs closed at 21:00 and the laundromat's last hour wasn't enough. The whole evening was re-planned on the curb.
③ Did the weather clear the gate?
Check the forecast (NWS, hourly) before the plan ships. View-dependent stops (summits, overlooks, observation towers) get an explicit go/skip call plus a rain-proof alternative; waterfalls and gorges are rain-enhanced and get up-weighted in bad weather. When weather kills a marquee stop, say so proactively and reroute.

🪦 Birth accident: $6 driven into dense fog on Cadillac — "All fog no view makes Ray a doll boy." (That one was a knowing 75%-rain gamble, but the lesson generalizes: view stops wear a weather gate.)
④ Is it one tap away — today's page, straight from the home page?
(a) One page per day (/xcountry/return-dayN), a table of contents at the top of the hub, append-only, exactly one 👉TODAY;
(b) The home page trips.slray.com always carries a「👉 Today」card at the top that opens the current day directly — removed only when the trip ends;
(c) Every stop: a time estimate (meals, charging and shower counted), a single-pin nav link plus the address to type into the Tesla, checkpoints tagged stoppable vs drive-by, and where 🚿 and 🛏️ happen.

🪦 Birth accident: the ride home from the East Coast camp had no entry on the home page at all — four levels of clicking to reach the day; and the outbound TOC once carried two TODAYs (Day 6 was never demoted). (Ray, 2026-09-03, Carlisle Walmart lot)
Appendix: standing house rules (the SOP's companion clauses)
| 🥐 | No breakfast: coffee + a roll in the morning; the first real meal lands on the first major stop (brunch/lunch) |
| 😴 | Respect the late chronotype: plans are built around ~10:30 starts; nothing that only works with an early rise — early options are priced and optional |
| 🧭 | Nav links are for activities only: every stop gets a one-tap single-pin link; chargers stay out of the route sheet (the car handles them) unless co-located with food/gym/shower |
| 🗂️ | Planning pages are append-only: dead plans get struck through and archived — the pages are the trip's geological strata |
| 🌇 | The whole trip runs on New York time: at the sleep spot by 22:00 ET (= 21:00 Central / 20:00 Mountain / 19:00 Arizona–Pacific). Cassie works NY hours, so departures, arrivals and bedtime are all sheeted in ET, with local time in brackets. Ray runs 1–2 h behind any plan and the evening westbound hour drives into the sun — this one rule happens to fix both. (9/4, the sunset before Wytheville) |
| 🚿 | Every day-plan carries a shower slot, a first-class citizen like a charge stop |
| 🧽 | Self-serve car wash after dirt roads, before photogenic stretches (wand, never brushes) |
| 📸 | All photos viewed personally, one by one — never delegated to another model |
| 🌡️ | Temperatures in Celsius (or dual °C/°F) |
The SOP runs indefinitely; new accidents mint new clauses. Last updated 2026-09-03, the Carlisle Walmart morning (gate ④ added).
