Changes since the previous snapshot

Fixed

• Dispatch, garage, and driving tools feel clearer. F1 on a dispatch job now opens a reviewable job-detail view with line-by-line facts, long-haul pay has a stronger floor, drive-start speech is shorter in terse mode, the horn loops while held, truck and upgrade wording is clearer, and the garage can service tire wear and wash road grime.
• Reverse now has its own backing cue. Shifting into reverse with the engine running now starts a backing loop through the main audio backend, and automatic reverse selection still gets a spoken confirmation. Thanks to ashleygrobler04 for the original reverse-loop PR.
• Lane drift now cues direction before the rumble strip. When lane drift is enabled, a short beep now plays from the side you drift toward, and a dedicated centered-lane chime confirms when you are back in the lane.
• Hazard clears are easier to hear, and speech backs off faster. Passing a road hazard now plays a short achievement-like confirmation sound, and urgent events plus driving warnings clear stale spoken messages so old alerts do not keep piling up. The brake-now hazard warning cue was also remade as a short, louder alert.
• Truck speed limits now respect state caps. Baked route speed-limit data now applies lower truck maximums in states that cap commercial trucks below the general posted limit, and reversed routes read the correct limit profile.
