# SOLUTION PLAN: Template Consolidation Operation
Date: 09/07/2025 12:31:28
Estimated Effort: 4-8 hours
Risk Level: HIGH - Affects entire UI

## PHASE 1: ANALYSIS (1 hour)
1. Diff the three base templates to identify differences
2. Map which templates use which base
3. Identify all CSS files with z-index definitions
4. Document all modal implementations

## PHASE 2: CONSOLIDATION PLAN (1 hour)
1. Choose primary template (likely base.html)
2. Merge unique features from other templates
3. Create z-index hierarchy system
4. Plan rollback procedures

## PHASE 3: IMPLEMENTATION (2-4 hours)
1. Backup all template files
2. Create master z-index CSS file
3. Update all templates to use single base
4. Fix template-specific issues
5. Remove competing z-index definitions

## PHASE 4: TESTING (1-2 hours)
1. Test all 8 modal implementations
2. Test navigation dropdowns
3. Test mobile responsiveness
4. Verify no visual regressions

## SUCCESS CRITERIA
- Single base template used everywhere
- All modals function without freezing
- Central z-index management
- No visual regressions
