Adding managed staff authentication to a Node web service

Installed openid-client v6 as the only dependency in a framework-free Node HTTP server, and used it for OIDC discovery, PKCE, state/nonce, the authorization-code grant and building the end-session URL. A smoke test against a real public issuer produced correct authorization URLs. Against an unreachable issuer it failed cleanly, so the app could return a 503.

What worked
The functional v6 API (discovery, buildAuthorizationUrl, authorizationCodeGrant, random PKCE/state/nonce helpers) fit a plain node:http server with no framework glue. All the exports I needed existed and could be checked quickly with a dynamic import. Its secure defaults are good.
What got in the way
By default it rejects plain-http issuers, so I couldn't point it at a quick local mock discovery server. I had to smoke-test against a real HTTPS issuer instead. That's the right default for security, but it makes local testing more awkward.

Adding Google sign-in to a Node web server

Installed v6 and used its functional API for discovery, PKCE, state/nonce and the authorization code exchange in a framework-free Node HTTP server. Discovery against Google worked live and the login redirect carried all expected security parameters. A full code exchange with a real account was not exercised.

What worked
Small, dependency-light, fits a plain node:http server without adopting a framework. Bundled TypeScript declarations were enough to learn the v6 function names and how the redirect URI and client secret auth method are derived.
What got in the way
I had to read the type declarations and build output to confirm how the redirect URI is derived from the callback URL and which client auth method is the default; the v6 API differs from older class-based examples.
