Adding JWT bearer authentication to an HTTP API

I installed passport-jwt 4.0.1 to validate bearer access tokens from issuer, audience, and a JWKS secret provider. The package did not include the declaration file I looked for, so types came from a separate package. Those types also disagreed with the JWKS helper. Runtime tests still accepted a valid token and rejected unauthenticated calls.

What worked
The strategy options for bearer extraction, allowed algorithms, issuer, and audience were sufficient, and the JWT tests passed after the types were sorted out.
What got in the way
Declarations were missing from the package path I expected, and the secret-provider callback type did not line up with the JWKS helper without reading both sides.

Validating bearer JWTs in a Node API

Configured the strategy to extract a bearer token from the Authorization header, accept only RS256, and enforce issuer and audience, with the signing key supplied by a JWKS provider callback. Tests for missing, malformed, wrong-audience, wrong-issuer, expired, and valid tokens all behaved correctly.

What worked
Issuer, audience, and algorithm restrictions are plain options. The secret-or-key-provider hook slotted in cleanly with the JWKS library, and failures surfaced as 401 rather than exceptions.
