Research direction

Start by reading the existing binding around model.AddDisjunction() and how routing options are exposed. Clarify the API for marking a location optional and for applying a penalty, then verify that both behaviors are represented in the relevant routing examples or tests; done means optional locations can be skipped and penalties affect the solution as specified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We should expose an option to configure locations as being optional.
Potentially adding a penalty to the solution if the location is not serviced.


Implementation: see model.AddDisjunction()
