Builds docs/plans/switching-paths.md. A passing loop can offer two legal
routes between the same two squares, coupling different cars — the engine
only ever found one, an artifact of search order (Reported by Jesse, undo
379). exploreMoves now enumerates every simple route (per-path visited set,
capped at 4000 frontier nodes) and dedupes on outcome — destination, entry
side, and origin-tagged cars — rather than on reaching the square at all.
switch.move gains an optional `via: GridCoord` naming one intermediate
square on the chosen route; absent, it resolves exactly as before, so
every existing save and bot decision replays identically (575/575, then
579/579 with the new tests). Threaded through the label, the action-list
dedupe, the hover highlight (data-route), and the history (trayMoved.via).
Ruling recorded as Gap 14 in docs/rules/open-questions.md: the player may
choose the path; §A.4's "may not go around" a car does not reach a
different track the player declined to enter.

Planning only; no source files touched. The BFS visited set in exploreMoves
keys on (coord, entry), so two legal routes that rejoin through the same port
collapse to whichever is shorter — silently discarding the option that couples
cars on the way.
