+# Phase 27 Plan 02: Setups Elevation and Collection Tab Simplification Summary
+
+**One-liner:** Setups promoted to standalone `/setups` route; Collection page reduced to Gear and Planning tabs with Zod `.catch("gear")` graceful fallback for legacy URLs.
+
+## Tasks Completed
+
+| Task | Name | Commit | Files |
+|------|------|--------|-------|
+| 1 | Create setups index route | 329bfce | src/client/routes/setups/index.tsx (created) |
+| 2 | Remove Setups tab from Collection page | 7fd9845 | src/client/routes/collection/index.tsx (modified) |
+
+## What Was Built
+
+**Task 1 — /setups top-level route**
+
+Created `src/client/routes/setups/index.tsx` using TanStack Router's `createFileRoute("/setups/")`. The route wraps `SetupsView` in the standard `max-w-7xl mx-auto px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8 py-6` container, matching the Collection page layout. The TanStack Router dev server auto-regenerates `routeTree.gen.ts` — file was not edited manually.
+
+**Task 2 — Collection page simplified to 2 tabs**
+
+Removed the Setups tab from `collection/index.tsx`:
+- `TAB_ORDER` changed from `["gear", "planning", "setups"]` to `["gear", "planning"]`
+- `TAB_LABELS` reduced to Gear and Planning entries
+- `searchSchema` z.enum updated to `["gear", "planning"]` with `.catch("gear")` — old `?tab=setups` URLs fall back to Gear tab automatically
+- `SetupsView` import removed
+- Conditional render simplified to a binary: `tab === "gear"` ? `` : ``
+- AnimatePresence, slide variants, and motion.div animation left exactly as-is
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None — plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Known Stubs
+
+None.
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+- `src/client/routes/setups/index.tsx` exists and contains `createFileRoute("/setups/")` and `SetupsView`
+- `src/client/routes/collection/index.tsx` contains no "setups" string
+- Commits 329bfce and 7fd9845 confirmed in git log
