`RoutingPreferencesSet`	`bool`	Whether routing preferences were configured

Decision flow

check: openDocuments.count > 1 → continue
check: sourceDoc != targetDoc → continue
check: sourceSystems.count > 0 → showSystemList
check: selectedSystem.hasRoutingPreferences → importRoutingPreferences
resolve: transaction.success → showResults
