Checkpoint: v3.45.0 - Complete implementation of 3 major features:

1. **PO Box Normalization**
   - Detects all PO Box variations (P.O. Box, PO Box, POBox, P O Box, P.O.Box)
   - Normalizes to standard "PO Box XXX" format
   - Extracts box number (supports alphanumeric and hyphenated formats)
   - Continues extracting city/state/ZIP (doesn't skip)
   - Added "box" to STREET_SUFFIXES for proper parsing
   - Special handling in parseRunOnAddress for PO Box addresses

2. **ZIP Code Validation**
   - Integrated @mardillu/us-cities-utils npm package
   - Created ZIPValidationService with methods:
     * lookup(zip) → { city, state, lat, long }
     * validateZIPState(zip, state) → boolean
     * getStateFromZIP(zip) → string
     * isValidZIP(zip) → boolean
   - Validates ZIP against extracted state
   - Flags ZIP/state mismatches
   - Supports ZIP+4 format

3. **Confidence Scoring System**
   - Created ConfidenceScorer class with scoring methods:
     * scoreStreet() - 0-1 based on street components
     * scoreCity() - 0-1 based on city validation
     * scoreState() - 0-1 based on format and ZIP match
     * scoreZIP() - 0-1 based on format and state match
     * scoreOverall() - average of all components
     * getConfidenceLevel() - returns "high", "medium", or "low"
   - Generates flags for issues: missing_street, missing_city, missing_state, missing_zip, zip_state_mismatch, ambiguous_city
   - Returns comprehensive scoring in AddressParseResult
   - Supports ambiguous city detection

**Test Results:**
- 37/37 v3.45.0 tests passing (100%)
- All PO Box variations tested
- All confidence scoring scenarios tested
- ZIP validation tests passing
- Backward compatibility verified (v3.43 and v3.44 tests still passing)

**Files Modified:**
- shared/normalization/addresses/AddressParser.ts (enhanced with PO Box handling)
- shared/normalization/addresses/ZIPValidationService.ts (new)
- shared/normalization/addresses/POBoxDetector.ts (new)
- shared/normalization/addresses/ConfidenceScorer.ts (new)
- tests/normalization/addresses/AddressParser.v3.45.test.ts (new, 37 tests)
- todo.md (updated with completion status)
