Normalize Percent-Encoding in URLs

🧩 Problem

Mixed encoding styles cause callback validation errors. When malformed or unstructured data hits routers, filters, or API connectors, entire automations halt or silently drop records. Teams end up retrying runs, hand-editing payloads, and explaining delays to customers.

πŸ’‘ Why This Happens

Values get double-encoded or partially encoded across hops. Most automation platforms assume well-formed payloads and do minimal validation. AI models, third-party APIs, and changing vendor schemas drift over time, mixing encodings, formats, and unexpected fields that downstream steps cannot tolerate.
