+## 🎯 Verification
+
+All endpoints have been tested and are working:
+
+```bash
+# Registration
+curl -X POST http://10.0.10.30:6500/api/auth/register \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"email": "test@example.com", "username": "test", "password": "SecurePassword123!"}'
+
+# Login
+curl -X POST http://10.0.10.30:6500/api/auth/login \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"email": "test@example.com", "password": "SecurePassword123!"}'
+
+# Refresh
+curl -X POST http://10.0.10.30:6500/api/auth/refresh \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"refresh_token": "..."}'
+
+# Protected route
+curl http://10.0.10.30:6500/api/users/me \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ..."
+```
