## 🔗 How They Work Together

### Scenario 1: Planning + Social + Live Session

```
Day 1 (Planning Phase):
→ User creates plan "Weekend Raid Alpes"
→ Invites 5 friends via COLLAB system
→ Friends add waypoints, comments collaboratively
→ Plan finalized

Day 2 (Before Departure):
→ Friends see each other on map via LIVE SOCIAL
→ "Pierre is 2 km away, heading to meeting point"

Day 3 (During Trip):
→ Host creates LIVE NAVIGATION session
→ All 6 friends join session
→ Real-time tracking active (3-5s updates)
→ Chat for communication
→ Emergency button available
→ Following planned route from COLLAB

Day 4 (Post-Trip):
→ Session ended, statistics exported
→ Photos added to plan via COLLAB
→ Friends still visible on map via LIVE SOCIAL
```

### Scenario 2: Track Day

```
Morning:
→ Track organizer creates "Track Day Spa 2025" via LIVE NAVIGATION
→ Session type: "Track Day"
→ Features: telemetry, lap timing, leaderboard enabled
→ 25 participants join

During Event:
→ High-frequency position updates (1s)
→ Telemetry recorded: speed, G-force, sector times
→ Leaderboard updated in real-time
→ Fastest lap alerts

End of Day:
→ Session statistics exported (GPX, CSV)
→ Lap times saved to profile
→ Sharing on social media
```

### Scenario 3: Emergency Situation

```
Group Ride Active:
→ 8 motorcycles in LIVE NAVIGATION session
→ Rider #6 crashes

Emergency Triggered:
→ Rider #6 holds emergency button (2s)
→ All 7 other riders receive:
  - Push notification
  - Red pulsing marker on map
  - Chat message: "URGENCE - Rider #6"
  - Last known position highlighted

Response:
→ Lead Rider changes route to crash site
→ Tail Rider stays with group
→ Host contacts emergency services
→ Position shared with ambulance via export
```

## 🎛️ Integration in MapPage

All three systems are integrated in `MapPage.mobile.vue`:

### UI Layout

```vue
<template>
  <!-- Map Container -->
  <MapView
    :live-markers="liveMapMarkers"  <!-- Combined markers from all 3 systems -->
    :collab-route="activeCollabRoute"
  />
  
  <!-- Bottom Control Strip -->
  <div class="live-social-buttons">
    <!-- LIVE SOCIAL buttons -->
    <q-btn label="Amis (3)" @click="handleLiveToggle('friends')" />
    <q-btn label="Club" @click="handleLiveToggle('clan')" />
    
    <!-- LIVE NAVIGATION button -->
    <q-btn 
      :label="isInSession ? `Session (${participantCount})` : 'Session Live'"
      @click="handleLiveToggle('session')"
    />
  </div>
  
  <!-- LIVE NAVIGATION drawers -->
  <q-drawer side="right">
    <LiveParticipantsList />
  </q-drawer>
  
  <q-drawer side="bottom">
    <LiveChat />
  </q-drawer>
  
  <!-- LIVE NAVIGATION emergency -->
  <EmergencyButton />
</template>
```

### State Management

```typescript
// COLLAB store
const collabStore = useCollabStore()

// LIVE SOCIAL store
const liveSocialStore = useLiveSocialStore()

// LIVE NAVIGATION store
const liveNavigationStore = useLiveNavigationStore()

// Combined map markers
const liveMapMarkers = computed<LiveMapMarkerPayload[]>(() => {
  const markers: LiveMapMarkerPayload[] = []
  
  // Add friends markers (LIVE SOCIAL)
  if (friendsOverlayEnabled.value) {
    markers.push(...friendLiveMarkers.value)
  }
  
  // Add clan markers (LIVE SOCIAL)
  if (clanOverlayEnabled.value) {
    markers.push(...clanLiveMarkers.value)
  }
  
  // Add session participants (LIVE NAVIGATION)
  if (liveNavigationStore.isInSession) {
    markers.push(...sessionParticipantsMarkers.value)
  }
  
  return markers
})

// Display collab route if active
const activeCollabRoute = computed(() => {
  if (collabStore.isCollaborating) {
    return collabStore.currentPlan?.stages
  }
  return null
})
```

## 🔐 Data Isolation

Each system maintains its own data space:

### Firebase Realtime DB Structure

```
/users/{userId}/
  /livePosition          ← LIVE SOCIAL (friends/clan tracking)
    - lat: number
    - lng: number
    - status: string
    - lastUpdate: timestamp
    
/plans/{planId}/
  /collab                ← COLLAB (plan editing)
    /presence
      /{userId}
        - name: string
        - cursor: object
        - lastSeen: timestamp
    /ydoc                ← Y.Doc CRDT state
      - binary: Uint8Array
      
/live-sessions/{sessionId}/  ← LIVE NAVIGATION (sessions)
  /session
    - id: string
    - name: string
    - type: string
    - status: string
  /participants
    /{userId}
      - position: object
      - status: string
      - role: string
  /chat
    /{messageId}
      - content: string
      - timestamp: timestamp
```

**No Cross-Contamination:** Each system reads/writes only its own paths
