Something off? Tweak and regenerate

Say exactly what to change—add/remove stops, swap vibes, tighter or slower pacing, named places or activities. We merge it into your last wizard payload and regenerate; **the new text should visibly reshape the plan**, not recycle the same default loop (out-of-catalog pins allowed when needed).

This looks like an older saved trip without your wizard payload—head back to the planner.
