+  - **Validation**: ✅ Hook works, integrates with forms:
+    - Created useFormValidation hook with validate function
+    - Accepts validation type (e.g., "RegisterRequest", "LoginRequest")
+    - Calls /api/v1/validate endpoint with type and data
+    - Returns validation state: isValidating, errors, isValid, error
+    - Provides clear() function to reset validation state
+    - Handles both wrapped and direct API response formats
+    - Uses parseApiError for consistent error handling
+    - Exported from hooks/index.ts with types
+    - No TypeScript errors
+    - Follows existing hook patterns
   - **Rollback**: Delete hook
 
 - [ ] **Action 5.2.1.4**: Integrate useFormValidation into all forms
