Description

Example 1: 10 km, 3 Points -> 9,7 km

Example 2: 10 km, 20 points -> 20.3 km

Using the round trip option for random route generation, the length limit doesn't apply anymore with more points on the route. Although the limit is not enforced, 200 % route length is too much.

HEAL, but also normal ORS (but not as large round trips)

Research direction

Start by tracing the round trip option and random route generation in the client, then compare how the length limit is applied with 3 versus 20 points. Reproduce the two examples and inspect the ORS request or response involved. Done means the configured length limit remains effective as more points are added, without breaking normal routes.
