+  - [x] Update `config.py` validation to include ema_alpha field.
+  - [ ] Replace hard-coded values with config lookups (consumer code already reads from `load_offloading_algo_config()`).

 - **Acceptance criteria:**
   - EMA alpha configurable via `settings.yaml`.
   - All offloading parameters tunable without code changes.

 ### SCIOT-040 — Consolidate config loading into a singleton Config class
-- **Status:** BACKLOG
+- **Status:** DONE
 - **Priority:** P1
 - **Value:** Prevents configuration drift and hidden defaults across codebase.
-- **Problem:** **Status**: Partially Complete (SCIOT-026). Config validation/DONE but **singleton pattern incomplete**. Need src/common/config.py with typed Config.get_server()/get_client() access.
+- **Problem:** **Status**: Complete. Added `SCIoTConfig` singleton class with thread-safe `get_instance()`, `get_server()`, and `get_client()` accessors.
 - **Task breakdown:**

 - **Acceptance criteria:**
   - Changes address the issue requirements
   - All tests pass (`uv run pytest -q`)
   - No breaking changes to existing API
 - **Links to Issues:** #8
+- **Verification evidence:**
+  - Added `SCIoTConfig` singleton class with double-checked locking pattern.
+  - `get_instance()` returns the same instance across all calls.
+  - `get_server()` and `get_client()` load and cache validated configurations.
