travel eSIM: cancel/exit drill for “saily” — rehearse leaving before prepaid

Compare eSIM (travel-esim-pick) treats “saily” as a reason to rehearse the exit — not to prepaid travel eSIM on impulse.

Nearby queries (“best travel esim”, “travel esim europe”, “airalo”) only matter after a cancel/export drill on Airalo/Holafly/Nomad.

Goal: prove within ≤33 minutes that you can leave without a retention ticket.
