- * Resolves the booking/check-in cutoff for one boarding stop: stop-level

- * neither configured. The basis is the stop's own estimated ARRIVAL time (the train reaching
- * that stop), not its departure or the schedule's overall origin departure — a downstream
- * stop's cutoff must be independent of how long ago the train left its origin. The first stop
- * of a route has no arrival (nothing to arrive at), so it falls back to its own departure.
+ * Resolves the booking/check-in cutoff for one boarding stop.
  *
- * Single source of truth for this computation — SeatsService.holdSeats and
- * SearchService.buildScheduleResult already applied it (search results only ever showed a
- * segment as bookable if this same cutoff hadn't passed); GuestBookingService.createGuestBooking
- * used to independently hardcode a flat, non-configurable 30 minutes off the schedule's origin
- * departure, which could reject a booking the search/hold steps had just accepted under the
- * route's actual configured cutoff.
+ * Priority for checkinMinutes: RouteStop.checkinMinutesBefore → Route.checkinMinutesBefore → 30.
