Dispatch now prices rides with a basic model inspired by public
information on Uber and Lyft (docs/pricing.md): base + per mile + per
minute, times a per-zone surge multiplier from recent requests against
available drivers, plus a booking fee, with a minimum. Riders get an
upfront quote per ride type and book against it; drivers see and earn
a configurable share (75%) of the fare.
Rate cards are per market, chosen by pickup location: San Francisco
(third-party 2026 rates) and Fairbanks, AK (its own UberX and UberXL
rates, Comfort from Anchorage, no Black). Everything is configurable
via PRICING_FILE or POST /test/reset.
Tests use a simple test card by default so auction scenarios keep
their numbers; new scenarios cover SF rates, Fairbanks rates and surge.
