[FIX-001] Path Normalization & Proxy 404

📝 Problem Background

When accessing via Cloudflare Previews or directly visiting /index.html, the Single Page App (SPA) fails to correctly identify the current route, leading directly to a 404 page.

🧪 Effort Metrics

  • Attempt Count: 2
  • Time Spent: 15 min
  • Complexity: ⭐⭐ (Normal)

🔍 Root Cause Analysis

SPAs typically trust window.location.pathname. However, in a proxy environment, the physical URL might contain the /index.html suffix or special proxy prefixes, causing the path matcher to fail.

🛠️ Fix Strategy

A cleanPath helper function was implemented to forcibly remove the .html suffix and any redundant slashes before route resolution.
