Phone Validation with /api/ Prefix Test
==========================================

1. Testing IdentityMiddleware with /api/user/phone/validate...
✓ Request processed without requiring authentication
✓ Identity is null (as expected for public route)

2. Testing IdentityMiddleware without /api/ prefix...
✓ Request processed without /api/ prefix
✓ Both URI formats work correctly

3. Testing Router handles /api/ prefix...
✓ Router correctly routes /api/user/phone/validate
✓ Matched to UserPhoneController
✓ Route is marked as public in routes.json

4. Testing authenticated route with /api/ prefix requires auth...
✓ Authenticated route correctly requires authentication
✓ /api/ prefix stripping works for both public and private routes

5. Summary of fixes...
✓ IdentityMiddleware now strips /api/ prefix before checking public routes
✓ Phone validation endpoint works with /api/user/phone/validate URL
✓ Phone validation endpoint works with /user/phone/validate URL
✓ Router and Middleware behavior is now consistent
✓ Public routes work correctly with /api/ prefix
✓ Authenticated routes still require auth with /api/ prefix

==================================================
Results: All tests passed
✅ Phone validation 401 error is FIXED

Users can now click SMS validation links without getting 401 errors!
