🚀 Pull Request

Thank you for contributing to AURA Protocol! Your contribution helps build a more open, interoperable web.

📋 Description

Implements parameterLocation routing in the reference client and server, adds coverage for path/query/header/body splitting, and updates the README with practical examples (including login) and a clear reference‑only disclaimer.

What does this PR do?

• Implements parameterLocation routing in the reference client and server, adds coverage for path/query/header/body splitting, and updates the README with practical examples (including login) and a clear reference‑only disclaimer

Why is this change needed?

• parameterLocation existed in the spec but was not honored at runtime, and there were no tests to prevent regressions. This aligns behavior with the protocol and makes CI more reliable.
• No version bump; the published package remains 1.0.3 on npm.

How does this change work?

• Client: splits parameters into path/query/header/body buckets and applies explicit routing, falling back to legacy encoding/method behavior for unassigned params.
• Server: parses URL templates to separate path vs query, applies location‑based extraction with a path > query > header > body fallback, then validates.
• Tests: new unit coverage for splitting and validation. Docs updated for clarity and practical usage.
