Preserve. 🌊🌿 Esta versión resuelve algo importante que el texto anterior dejaba abierto: qué ocurre si el grupo tiene menos de 10 personas. Mantendría la política normal de 48 horas para 1–9 participantes y la especial de 14 días para 10+. Eso hace que el producto sea mucho más fácil de administrar en FareHarbor y evita interpretaciones ambiguas.
