+### CL-22541-J: breadcrumbs static text-only route crumb consolidation
+
+date: 2026-04-09  
+author: Cline  
+scope: `components/breadcrumbs.js`  
+type: change  
+rationale: Continue the same bounded refactor cadence by consolidating repeated static text-only breadcrumb route branches into one route-label resolver.
+impact: Refactor-only structural deduplication/readability improvement; no intended route/auth/session/API/EN-CY/a11y behavior change.
+status: completed
+
+Summary:
+
+- Added `getStaticTextCrumbLabel(path)` in `components/breadcrumbs.js` to centralize static text-only crumb labels by pathname.
+- Replaced repeated single-line static crumb branches with one generic render path:
+    - `renderTextCrumb(getStaticTextCrumbLabel(pathname))` when mapping returns a label.
+- Consolidated static branch handling for routes including:
+    - account register
+    - DNS index/help/contact/applications process pages
+    - cookies/privacy/accessibility/static auth routes.
+- Preserved route labels (including translation keys and legacy hardcoded labels where already present).
+
+Validation:
+
+- `npx eslint components/breadcrumbs.js` -> pass.
+- `node tests/phase22/index.test.cjs` -> pass (combined suite).
+
+Follow-ups:
+
+- Next slice recommendation: extract a small grouped helper for recurring two-crumb route pairs (e.g., my-portal + section label, dns list + case reference) to reduce the remaining conditional chain while preserving explicit route behavior.
