    True when `url` has no meaningful path — the bare root domain (with or
    without a trailing slash, query string, or www prefix), not a
    trip-specific page. Used to flag/exclude scrapes and matches that landed
    on a competitor's homepage instead of an actual trip page.

    Known limitation: only catches a structurally empty path — not a "soft"
    generic page like /home or /en/. Not worth guarding against
    speculatively; revisit if that turns out to be a real case in practice.
