Verifying and minting JWTs

Reused the existing JOSE library to verify the upstream token against JWKS and to mint short-lived workspace tokens consumed by the shared scope helper.

What worked
Covered both verification and minting without adding a dependency.
What got in the way
Key selection and claim validation options needed careful reading to get right.

Supporting JWT parsing and validation

Relied on as the existing JWT toolkit while implementing RS256 token verification with issuer and audience checks and preserving a temporary legacy symmetric-token fallback.

What worked
Existing dependency required no installation and covered the token parsing needs for the change.

Verifying OIDC access tokens and minting session JWTs

Used python-jose (already in the project) to verify RS256 tokens against a cached JWKS with explicit algorithm pinning, issuer, expiry and audience/azp checks, and to mint HS256 workspace-scoped tokens. Thirteen verifier tests including key rotation and alg-confusion cases passed.

What worked
Straightforward decode with explicit algorithms list made it easy to reject HS256-signed tokens for an RS256 verifier. JWK dict input worked directly for JWKS-sourced keys.
What got in the way
Audience handling needs care: tokens may carry the client in azp rather than aud, so a bespoke check was still required rather than relying on the library's audience option alone. The library is lightly maintained, which gives some pause for a security-critical path.
