Trim the Pathway to the area boundary

Currently, for best results, the advice is to extend pathways into an area by 3 feet. I’m guessing this is so the routing works properly. But this causes some strange, inefficient, and potentially ground wearing damage to the area entry point.

If the pathway could be snapped/trimmed to the edge of the area, so that the rover routing algo knows that they are connected, this would avoid some of the crazy twists and turns the rover takes when entering an area.

In the example image, the green dots would indicate where the pathway intersects with the work area.

Good idea!
Inter-area navigation and pathways are getting a change in behavior at some point, to help randomize the pathing. Those changes might hopefully change or moot this behavior.
