 ## Issues Resolved
 
 ### 1. Redis Cluster Restart Loop (CRITICAL)
+
 **Problem**: Redis cluster nodes were in a continuous restart loop due to invalid configuration syntax.
 
 **Root Cause**: The `--save "no"` command-line argument is invalid in Redis 7.x. When `REDIS_SAVE_ENABLED=no` was set in the environment, docker-compose passed `--save no` which Redis rejected with:
+
 ```

 **Solution**: Disabled RDB snapshots by commenting out the `--save` flag in docker-compose.yml for development performance, as documented in Phase 3 - Task 3.2.
 
 **Files Modified**:

 - `docker-compose.yml` - Commented out `--save` flags for redis-1, redis-2, redis-3
 - `.env` - Commented out `REDIS_SAVE_ENABLED` variable

 ### 2. GitHub Actions Wiki Sync Workflow Failure (CRITICAL)
+
 **Problem**: Wiki sync workflow was failing with exit code 1 after processing only one file.
 
 **Root Cause**: Bash arithmetic post-increment with `bash -e` (errexit mode):
+
 - `((SKIPPED++))` when SKIPPED=0 returns the old value (0)
 - In bash arithmetic, 0 is false, which returns exit code 1
 - The `-e` flag causes immediate script termination on non-zero exit codes
 
 **Solution**: Added `|| true` to all arithmetic increment operations to prevent early termination:
+
 ```bash
 ((SYNCED++)) || true
 ((SKIPPED++)) || true
 ```
 
 **Files Modified**:
+
 - `.github/workflows/wiki-sync.yml` - Lines 74, 77, 81
 
 **Impact**: Wiki sync workflow now completes successfully and properly syncs all documentation files.

 ### 3. FastAPI Unit Test Failure
+
 **Problem**: `test_service_name_validation` was failing when testing invalid service names.
 
 **Root Cause**: When a path parameter contains "/" (e.g., "service/name"), FastAPI's router treats it as a multi-segment path. The URL `/examples/vault/secret/service/name` was being routed to the two-parameter endpoint instead of the single-parameter endpoint, resulting in a 503 error instead of the expected 422 validation error.
 
 **Solution**: Updated test expectations to account for FastAPI's routing behavior:
+
 ```python
 invalid_names_with_expected_codes = [
     ("invalid service", [400, 422]),  # Validation error for space

 ### 4. API Parity Test Failures (9 tests)
+
 **Problem**: All api-first implementation tests were failing with 500 errors.
 
 **Root Cause**: The api-first implementation was unable to authenticate with Vault because:
+
 1. Missing `VAULT_APPROLE_DIR` configuration
 2. Cache manager not initialized with Vault credentials
 3. Missing AppRole authentication support in startup
 
 **Solutions Implemented**:
