+# Standalone Sub-Page Cleanup — retire redundant map/stats/dailies/stories pages
+
+**Status:** 📋 Not started
+
+> Plan type: `refactor` · Depth: Standard · Origin: sequel to `2026-06-27-map-init-consolidation.md` — that plan unified the map *engine* (`MapUtils.initEntryMap()`) onto trip + home but deferred `feed-map`/`map.html`; this plan removes those deferred surfaces entirely.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Every trip carries four standalone sub-pages — `02.map`, `03.stats`, plus the standalone `dailies` and `stories` list views — that are **fully consolidated onto the trip page** (inline map + filter bar + inline stats via `trip-feed-col`) and are **no longer reachable from navigation**. They are also the last consumers of the *old* map code path: `feed-map.html.twig` hand-rolls an inline MapLibre init that duplicates `MapUtils.initEntryMap()`, and `map.html.twig` is a third variant built on `renderGpxJourney` directly.
+
+This plan removes the dead pages/logic (**Phase 1**) and then finishes the shared-logic arc by de-duplicating the map markup that trip and home still copy-paste (**Phase 2**).
+
+**Net effect after both phases:** the entire site renders maps through exactly one code path (`initEntryMap()`), invoked from exactly one shared partial.
+
+## Goal
+
+- Remove unused pages and view logic so the codebase has no orphaned templates or dead map variants.
+- Preserve all content and all currently-linked behavior — this is a pure internal cleanup, no user-visible feature change on the pages that remain.
+- Converge on a single map code path.
+
+## Product authority / decisions locked
+
+- **Scope = Option 2** (all four standalone views retired), confirmed by owner.
+- **Keepers — must not break:** `home.html.twig`, `trips.html.twig` (trip overview), `trip.html.twig`, `story.html.twig`, and every shared element they use (`trip-feed-col`, `home-predeparture`, `macros/stats`, `macros/cycling`, `macros/date-range`, `map.css`, `map.js`).
+- **Containers stay:** `01.dailies/` and `04.stories/` folders remain as data containers (they physically hold entries/stories; trip + home fetch children via `grav.pages.find(route ~ '/dailies').children`).
+- **Old URLs are don't-care:** `/map`, `/stats`, `/dailies`, `/stories` direct hits may 404. No redirects required (owner decision). Individual entry/story detail pages underneath remain reachable.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Cleanup (content + logic + old templates)
+
+**Delete these page templates (old / unreachable views):**
+
+- `user/themes/intotheeast/templates/map.html.twig` — old map variant (`renderGpxJourney` inline)
+- `user/themes/intotheeast/templates/stats.html.twig` — orphaned (nothing links to it)
+- `user/themes/intotheeast/templates/dailies.html.twig` — standalone list view, consolidated onto trip page
+- `user/themes/intotheeast/templates/stories.html.twig` — standalone list view, consolidated onto trip page
+
+**Delete this partial (dies with its only two consumers):**
+
+- `user/themes/intotheeast/templates/partials/feed-map.html.twig` — old inline-script map duplicate; included **only** by the two deleted list views.
+
+**Delete these page folders (empty pure-view shells) across every trip:**
+
+- `user/pages/01.trips/<slug>/02.map/`
+- `user/pages/01.trips/<slug>/03.stats/`
+- (applies to all trips: `central-asia-2023`, `italy-2025`, `italy-2026-demo`, `slovenia-2024`, `us-canada-mex-2024`)
+
+**Repoint the two container pages so nothing errors** (keep the folders, retire the view):
+
+- `01.dailies/dailies.md` and `04.stories/stories.md`: change `template:` off the deleted templates (e.g. to `default`), and mark the container non-routable/non-visible so its own URL is inert while children stay reachable.
+
+**Also update / remove any dangling reference to the deleted pages found during work** (e.g. the `link_href: … ~ '/map'` line lived inside `dailies.html.twig`, which is being deleted — confirm no *other* template links to `/map`, `/stats`, `/dailies`, `/stories` as a destination).
+
+### Phase 1 acceptance criteria
+
+- Site renders with no Twig errors on: home (active-trip + between-trips), `/trips`, every trip page, and an individual entry and story detail page.
+- Trip page + home still show the inline map, filter bar, and stats correctly (child-fetch via `find(...).children` still resolves).
+- `grep` for `feed-map.html.twig`, `map.html.twig`, `stats.html.twig`, `dailies.html.twig`, `stories.html.twig` returns **no remaining `include`/`import`/link references**.
+- No content lost: journal entries and stories still present and reachable at their detail URLs.
+- Only one non-`initEntryMap` map path removed — confirm `map.css`/`map.js` and `macros/stats` are untouched.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Optimization (finish the shared-logic arc)
+
+`trip.html.twig` and `home.html.twig` still hand-write near-identical map markup (`home-map-col` → `home-map`/`trip-map` div → fullscreen button) plus a thin inline `<script>` calling `MapUtils.initEntryMap(...)`. Extract the shared shape.
+
+- Create `user/themes/intotheeast/templates/partials/entry-map.html.twig` taking parameters for: container id, fullscreen button id, entries array, and gpx config (urls / use / autoconnect / sourcePrefix / journeyId), plus the fit config.
+- `trip.html.twig` and `home.html.twig` (active branch) both `{% include … with {…} only %}` the new partial instead of their inline markup + script.
+- Keep the JS engine (`initEntryMap`) as the single source of truth — the partial only supplies markup + the thin invocation.
+
+### Phase 2 acceptance criteria
+
+- Trip and home maps render and behave identically to pre-Phase-2 (markers, popups, click-to-scroll-and-highlight, GPX journey, fullscreen toggle).
+- The map-div markup + invocation exist in exactly one place (`entry-map.html.twig`); no copy-paste twin remains in trip/home.
+- Existing map-alignment tests (that assert `window.tripMap` / `window.homeMap` globals) still pass.
+
+---
+
+## Non-goals / scope boundaries
+
+- **Not** deleting the `01.dailies/` or `04.stories/` container folders or any content inside them.
+- **Not** adding redirects for old URLs (owner deferred; 404 is acceptable).
+- **Not** touching the keeper pages' behavior or the `trip-feed-col` / `home-predeparture` partials, the stats/cycling macros, or `map.css`/`map.js`.
+- **Not** changing the GPX-manager, post form, or trip-switching config.
+
+## Risks & verification
+
+- **Risk:** container repoint leaves child entries unreachable. **Mitigation:** verify `routable: false` on a parent does not unroute children in this Grav version — load an entry and a story detail URL after the change.
+- **Risk:** a stray reference to a deleted template elsewhere (e.g. `trips.html.twig` counts, sitemap, feed). **Mitigation:** repo-wide grep before declaring Phase 1 done (acceptance criterion above).
+- **Verification path:** dev server at `http://localhost:8081`; walk home (both modes), `/trips`, each trip, one entry, one story; then run the map-alignment test suite for Phase 2.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- None blocking. (Container repoint mechanism — `routable:false` vs a minimal redirect — is an implementation detail for planning; owner has already ruled old-URL behavior don't-care.)
