as the fixture’s R1/R2 values. Reject or return an error for any unmapped route,
and ensure no synthetic sim-route-* value reaches TripDescriptor.RouteId.

- Around line 562-567: Update the legacy active-trip restoration around the trip
preference reader to read TRIP_LOCATION_ID when TRIP_GTFS_TRIP_ID is absent,
preserving the stored GTFS trip ID before falling back to an empty value. Keep
the existing route-only and startDate fallback behavior unchanged for trips
without either legacy or current identifiers.
- Line 802: Update the Option A deployment instructions so JWT_SECRET is

value; preserve the remaining Docker Compose setup guidance.
- Around line 241-245: Define the identifier limit consistently across these
validators: either replace byte-based len checks with utf8.RuneCountInString in

Map simulator routes to GTFS route IDs.
The simulator emits sim-route-1 through sim-route-3, but the validation fixture defines only R1 and R2. buildFeed copies route_id directly into TripDescriptor.RouteId, and the server validates only its length. The generated feed can therefore contain route IDs that do not match the static feed.
Add an explicit mapping from each simulator route to a valid GTFS route_id. Reject unmapped routes instead of emitting synthetic IDs.

Define the identifier limit consistently.
len counts UTF-8 bytes, not characters. The existing trip_handlers.go checks and tooLong helper use the same byte-based rule, so changing only these checks would keep the APIs inconsistent. Use utf8.RuneCountInString in all affected validators, or document the limit as 100 bytes.

Migrate the legacy active-trip key before ignoring it.
android/app/src/main/kotlin/org/onebusaway/vehicletracker/data/TripRepository.kt:18-34 stores locationTripId = gtfsTripId.ifBlank { routeId }. Therefore, an active trip from the previous app version can contain a GTFS trip ID in TRIP_LOCATION_ID. This reader ignores that key and sets gtfsTripId to "", so the next report changes from trip-plus-route metadata to route-only metadata. Read or migrate the legacy value before treating it as absent.

Capture startedAt before calling startTrip. The contract uses the device-local time when the user starts the trip, not the server response time. If the request crosses local midnight, the current placement records the response date. Reuse the pre-request value for startDate and startedAtEpochSec.

Use a current timestamp in the valid request example.
LocationReport.validate accepts timestamps only within five minutes of server time. The fixed value 1752566400 is stale, so the documented request returns 400 Bad Request. Replace it with $(date +%s).

Summary
Driver-reported entities in
GET /gtfs-rt/vehicle-positionscarried onlytrip_id, neverroute_idorstart_date. The Android app, when a driver left the GTFS trip id blank, sent the route id intrip_id— the common case in the target markets, since drivers know routes, not GTFS trip ids. The result was a feed entity that no consumer could match. The Android design spec flagged this on 2026-08-04 as "a separate server issue" and it was never filed.This PR fixes the server half:
POST /api/v1/locationsaccepts two new optional fields,route_idandstart_date(YYYYMMDD), alongsidetrip_id.trip_idandroute_idare capped at 100 characters (same as the trips endpoint);start_datemust be a real date and is accepted only withtrip_idorroute_id.Trackercarries the new fields.buildFeedemits aTripDescriptorwhenevertrip_idorroute_idis present, with exactly the non-empty fields set. A route-only report getsroute_id(andstart_date) and notrip_id— it no longer invents one.TripDescriptormust carrytrip_idorroute_id, andstart_datemust be 8 digits.route_id(sim-route-N) so the demo feed shows routes.Rider-mode entities already carried
route_idandstart_dateand are untouched. The iOS SDK (VehiclePositionsKit) is rider-only, never posts to/api/v1/locations, and itsTripDescriptoralready carries both fields, so it needs no change.Backward compatible: the new fields are optional and existing clients that send only
