"что дальше?" answers with the next three, not the whole day (V-618)

Measured on the box at 04:45: "что дальше?" read 43 entries, 05:45 to 21:12, as
one spoken sentence. The rest-of-day path already trimmed to what had not
happened yet, and at 04:45 that trim removes nothing — the whole day is still
ahead. Trimming was never the narrowing; nothing capped the read.

Plan.Next(now, n) is After with a cap, and the overflow is counted rather than
dropped. The cap is three. One entry is defensible and reads as an oracle: it
says what is next and says nothing about whether the day is full. Three is what
the feed already reads back for headlines, it fits in one breath, and the reply
is spoken — he cannot scroll it back. Above three the answer stops being an
answer and becomes a recital, which is the defect.

The sentence says whether more remains: plan_next is "дальше: …" and
plan_next_more appends "и ещё 40 дел до конца дня." So a capped answer never
implies the day ends after the third line.

After is now strictly after now. An entry at exactly the asking minute is the
thing happening, not the thing next.

"что у меня сегодня?" is untouched and was never on this path: it carries no
plan word, so IsDayPlanQuery declines it and the calendar listing answers the
whole day. TestWholeDayQuestionIsNotTheRestOfTheDay pins the two apart.

The empty case already said the right thing — plan_rest_empty, "на сегодня
больше ничего не запланировано", not the whole-day empty line that would deny a
day he just lived — and now has a test at the cap boundary too.

Routing fixture unchanged, 64/91 (70.3% full, 70.3% intent-only) before and
after: no router file is touched. Suite green.
