fix(auth): harden OIDC flow, token validation, session, and bearer handling

- replay entry covers exp + clock-skew window; callback GET-only (RFC 6749)
- callback rate-limit returns 429 + Retry-After; panic-recovery sets no-store
- cross-chunk integrity for chunked tokens; bounded chunked-token read scan
- HTTPError classification so 5xx/429 token-endpoint responses retry
- redaction of token/code/state in logs; per-source external auth gate
