Smart Schedule reminders now work the moment you add a class as we ask for notification permission right there, and the backend is more reliable about actually sending them. Plus small fixes to late-night bus times and alert formatting.

- "Where to" autocomplete now only shows places in Virginia.
  - Fixed: walkable campus destinations now show bus alternatives too, so you can choose
   the bus when you'd rather ride than walk.
  - Minor fixes to routing accuracy on the immersive map.
 - Service alerts from Blacksburg Transit now show on the home screen. Multiple alerts
  condense into one banner; tap to see all of them.
  - Navigation map loads in 3D immediately, instead of waiting for the route to fetch.
  - Immersive map now draws a walking line when walking is faster, instead of suggesting
   a bus detour for short trips.
  - Cleaner alert detail view: removed technical Cause/Effect rows that didn't add info.
  - Copy polish across the app (notifications, status messages, banners).

Smart Schedule reminders are now bus-aware. When you have a class, we'll ping you at the right time to actually catch your bus, not just 10 minutes before class. The notification tells you which stop to walk to and which route to catch, so you can leave the moment you see it. Tap any class reminder to jump straight into the trip planner with directions to that building.
