"""
URL Canonicalization for Better Deduplication

Normalizes URLs before hashing to catch duplicate stories from different sources.

Removes:
- Tracking parameters (utm_*, ref, fbclid, etc.)
- Session IDs  
- Protocol differences (http vs https)
- Trailing slashes
- www prefix

Example:
    IN:  https://www.cnn.com/story?utm_source=twitter&id=123/
    OUT: cnn.com/story?id=123
    
Impact: +15% deduplication accuracy
