== Route releasing (TORR) ==
A train passing through a route happens as follows:
Route set from entry to exit signal
Train passes entry signal and enters first TS past the signal
-> Route from signal cleared (TSs remain locked)
-> 'route' status of first TS past signal cleared
-> 'route_post' (holding the turnout locks) remains set
Train continues along the route.
Whenever train leaves a TS
-> Clearing any routes set from this TC outward recursively - see "Reversing problem"
-> Free turnout locks and clear 'route_post'
Whenever train enters a TS
-> Clear route status from the just entered TC (but not route_post)
Note that this prohibits by design that the train clears the route ahead of it.
== Reversing Problem ==
Encountered at the Royston simulation in SimSig. It is solved there by imposing a time limit on the set route. Call-on routes can somehow be set anyway.
Imagine this setup: (T=Train, R=Route, >=in_dir TCB)
    O-|  Royston P2 |-O
T->---|->RRR-|->RRR-|--
Train T enters from the left, the route is set to the right signal. But train is supposed to reverse here and stops this way:
    O-|  Royston P2 |-O
------|-TTTT-|->RRR-|--
The "Route" on the right is still set. Imposing a timeout here is a thing only professional engineers can determine, not an algorithm.
    O-|  Royston P2 |-O
<-T---|------|->RRR-|--
The train has left again, while route on the right is still set.
So, we have to clear the set route when the train has left the left TC.
This does not conflict with call-on routes, because both station tracks are set as "allow call-on"
Because none of the routes extends past any non-call-on sections, call-on route would be allowed here, even though the route
is locked in opposite direction at the time of routesetting.
Another case of this:
--TTT/--|->RRR--
The / here is a non-interlocked turnout (to a non-frequently used siding). For some reason, there is no exit node there,
so the route is set to the signal at the right end. The train is taking the exit to the siding and frees the TC, without ever
having touched the right TC.


== Terminology / Variable Names ==

"tcb" : A TCB table (as in track_circuit_breaks)
"tcbs" : One side of a tcb (that is tcb == {[1] = tcbs, [2] = tcbs})
"sigd" : A table of format {p=<position>, s=<side aka connid>} by which a "tcbs" is uniqely identified.

== Section Autorepair & Turnout Cache ==

As fundamental part of reworked route programming mechanism, Track Section objects become weak now. They are created and destroyed on demand.
ildb.repair_tcb automatically checks all nearby sections for issues and repairs them automatically.

Also the database now holds a cache of the turnouts in the section and their position for all possible driving paths.
Every time a repair operation takes place, and on every track edit operation, the affected sections need to have their cache updated.
