Shared map links now reach the arrival planner, even when they arrive shortened
Sharing a map link out of an email could open the wrong screen — the app read it as something to play from an alarm rather than a place to plan around. Link shorteners were the reason. Once a map link is wrapped in one, nothing about it looks like a map until you follow it, so no amount of pattern-matching on the link itself could ever have caught it. The app now checks where a shared link actually leads before deciding what it is, and a shortened destination opens the arrival planner like any other. Links it already recognises are untouched and open just as fast. Verified against the real link from the original report, not just against invented test cases — the two are different claims, and only the second one proves the bug is fixed.
