Goal

Where a route is planned decides how good its turn instructions are, and the app is the only thing in a position to tell the rider that.

bikerouter.de is BRouter's own web front end and exports GPX with turn instructions. So BRouter-quality cues are reachable with no BRouter install, no segment files, no network at import and no privacy question. That makes tier 0 (#63) the best path available, not a lucky accident — and it is the thing that makes "the route source is pluggable" pay for itself.

Acceptance criteria

At import, the tier that produced the cue sheet is reported plainly, not hidden
When a geometry-only file arrives, say so, and name a planner that would not have — with the specific export setting to enable
Guidance is per import and dismissible for good; no nagging
README carries the same table: bikerouter.de (yes, enable turn instructions on export), cycle.travel / RideWithGPS / Garmin (usually), komoot (no — geometry only)
The message never implies the import failed — a geometry-only route still works, just less well

Notes

FR-N20 / D40. Reduces how much rests on #64 and on Spike C (#6).
