Also "fixed and deployed; your trip should now go Cabrillo → 23rd → Geary". The snappy sentence at the start and the unicode arrows are both pretty big flags for AI writing.

Obviously it's fine to use AI for projects like these, but copy-pasting the response from a coding agent doesn't quite sit right with me.
