Description
## Context (updated for current API)
`@effector/router` already ships a public `createVirtualRoute` (`packages/core/lib/create-virtual-route.ts`), and `chainRoute` (`packages/core/lib/chain-route.ts`) still takes the chained route via `route:` and returns a `VirtualRoute`. So the naming/shape concern from atomic-router is partially overtaken, but the specific ergonomics point remains open.
## RFC
Clarify the parent/child relationship in the chaining API. Options:
- Rename `chainRoute`'s `route` to `parentRoute` to make direction explicit (preferred).
- Or introduce a `virtualRoute({ parentRoute, openOn?, condition?, onParentNavigated? })`-style API layered on `createVirtualRoute`.
- Preserve existing composition/navigation-hook behavior.
## Open questions
- How does this interact with the already-public `createVirtualRoute`?
- Migration path / deprecation for the current `chainRoute` signature.
