In the coffee module, how does a house choose its route, and which coffee shops sell?

Routes are counted in map tiles (not road squares) and U-turns are never allowed; a detour inside one tile adds nothing. A house takes a shortest route, and a coffee shop sells if it lies on every equally short route, even when the exact path is unknown. When tied shortest routes pass different coffee shops, those shops cancel out and nothing is sold, even if both belong to the same player. Among equally short routes the house takes the one selling the most coffee; only routes that still tie cancel the undecided shops.
