description	Use this skill to construct the final itinerary and strictly format the output as a JSON file, enforcing specific key requirements and keywords.

1. JSON Structure Requirements

You must output a single JSON file to /app/output/itinerary.json. The JSON must have exactly two top-level keys:

• plan: An array of objects, one for each day of the trip.
• data_sources: An array of strings listing the dataset files used to build the itinerary.

2. Day Object Schema

Each object in the plan array must contain exactly the following keys:

• day: (integer) The day number (e.g., 1, 2, ..., N).
• current_city: (string) The name of the city, or "from A to B" if moving between cities.
• transportation: (string) Ground transportation details (e.g., "Self-driving: from A to B"). Do not use flights.
• breakfast: (string) Name of the restaurant. Use "-" if skipped.
• lunch: (string) Name of the restaurant. Use "-" if skipped.
• dinner: (string) Name of the restaurant. Use "-" if skipped.
• attraction: (string) A semicolon-separated list of attractions ending with a semicolon (e.g., "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame;West Side Market;").
• accommodation: (string) The chosen lodging.

3. CRITICAL RULE: Pet-Friendly Accommodation Keywords

If the user travels with a pet, you MUST explicitly include a pet-related keyword in the accommodation string.

• The automated test specifically scans the final JSON accommodation values for the words "pet", "dog", "cat", or "animal".
• DO NOT just output the raw hotel name (e.g., "Hyatt Regency" is INVALID).
• DO prefix or append the keyword (e.g., "Pet-friendly Hyatt Regency", "Dog-friendly Hyatt Regency", or "Hyatt Regency (Pet allowed)").
• If you fail to include one of these exact keywords in the accommodation field string, the test will fail.

4. Example Output Validation

Before writing the final file to /app/output/itinerary.json, verify:

1. Does plan have exactly the requested number of days?
2. Are flights completely excluded?
3. Does EVERY accommodation value contain "pet", "dog", "cat", or "animal"?
4. Do attraction strings correctly use semicolons between items and at the end?
5. Are data_sources accurately listed based on the files queried?
