   For normal route-aware VROOM allocation, send `options.engine: "vroom"` and omit `allocation_strategy` or set it to `route_aware`. Vehicles must have usable positions because VROOM will solve against route coordinates.

This mode answers which vehicles can carry the selected orders by weight, volume, pallets, parcels, skills, and task limits without requiring vehicle locations. Use `options.vehicle_packing: "minimize_vehicles"` to bias VROOM toward filling feasible vehicles before opening another vehicle; use `balanced` or `none` to disable that packing bias.
 
   For Fleetbase's deterministic built-in capacity allocation, send `options.engine: "capacity"`. This native engine is useful as a fallback and debugging baseline for capacity-only allocation without VROOM.
