## 📦 Stories Completed
### Story 1.1: URL Normalization Implementation ✅
**Status:** Complete (Code + Tests)
**Complexity:** Medium
**Files Modified:** 5
**Key Deliverables:**
- ✅ 3-step URL normalization logic
- ✅ CRITICAL FIX: Singleton caching pattern optimization
- ✅ Comprehensive unit test suite (22+ test cases)
- ✅ Testing infrastructure setup (Jest + ts-jest)
- ✅ Debug logging with DEBUG=true
**Technical Implementation:**
```typescript
// Step 1: Remove trailing slashes
baseHost = baseHost.replace(/\/+$/, '');
// Step 2: Remove existing /api/v1 (backward compatibility)
if (baseHost.endsWith('/api/v1')) {
baseHost = baseHost.replace(/\/api\/v1$/, '');
}
// Step 3: Safely append /api/v1
const baseURL = `${baseHost}/api/v1`;
```
