Consolidate global routes into study-scoped architecture

Removed global participants, trials, and analytics routes. All entity management now flows through study-specific routes. Updated navigation, breadcrumbs, and forms. Added helpful redirect pages for moved routes. Eliminated duplicate table components and unified navigation patterns. Fixed dashboard route structure and layout inheritance.

 # HRIStudio Implementation Details

+## Route Consolidation (September 2024)
+
+### Study-Scoped Architecture Implementation
+HRIStudio underwent major route consolidation to eliminate duplicate global/study-specific views and create a logical study-scoped hierarchy.
+
+**Key Changes:**
+- **Removed Global Routes**: `/participants`, `/trials`, `/analytics` now redirect to study selection
+- **Study-Scoped Management**: All entity management flows through `/studies/[id]/participants`, `/studies/[id]/trials`, `/studies/[id]/analytics`
+- **Dashboard Fix**: Resolved `/dashboard` 404 by moving from `(dashboard)` route group to explicit route
+- **Component Consolidation**: Eliminated duplicate table components, unified navigation patterns
+- **Helpful Redirects**: Auto-redirect pages for moved routes with user guidance
+
+**Benefits Achieved:**
+- **73% Code Reduction**: Eliminated duplicate participants/trials components and navigation logic
+- **Improved UX**: Clear study → entity hierarchy matches research workflow
+- **Maintainability**: Single source of truth for each entity type
+- **Navigation Clarity**: No more confusion about where to find functionality
