Driver link
A driver link is a web address, sent by text or email, that opens one route's drive screen on a phone with no app to install and no account to sign into.

It suits part-time and seasonal drivers, who will not install another app at 6:30 on a Tuesday. The security comes from scope and expiry: a long random token that reaches exactly one route, nothing else, stops working soon after the route date and can be revoked from the office.
In Porch Route dispatching a route sends the driver's link automatically. It expires two days after the route date, rotates when reissued and can be revoked at any time; staff drivers can log in instead. Anything done without signal waits in a retry queue.
