Subject: [PATCH] Update API endpoint and implement path prefix handling in the
 application

This commit modifies the API endpoint in `config.json` from `/api` to `/fcapi`, reflecting a change in the backend structure. Additionally, it introduces a new function in `src/index.js` to derive the API path prefix from the updated configuration, ensuring that requests are correctly routed when the API is served under a specific path. The application now logs the API path prefix during initialization, enhancing visibility into the routing configuration.
