chore(release): v1.0.63

ChunkManager.sessionMap is never written in this package, so the limit
and emergency eviction paths cannot run. Remove enforceSessionLimit,
findOldestSessions, CanCreateSession, EmergencyCleanup, GetSessionCount,
GetMemoryStats and globalMaxSessions, with the tests that only covered them.
The session/chunking package keeps its own copy.

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.
+
+The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- **`allowUnauthenticatedPreflight` (default `false`).** Every `OPTIONS`
+  request needs authentication by default, as in the last release. Set the
+  option to `true` to let a genuine CORS preflight reach the backend
+  without a session. Only an `OPTIONS` request that carries both `Origin`
+  and `Access-Control-Request-Method` bypasses authentication, and the
+  plugin discards the backend's response body for it, because a browser
+  never reads a preflight body (`settings.go`, `middleware.go`, FIX-02).
+  See the option table in [CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md).
+
+- **`streamingRefresh` (default `false`).** SSE and WebSocket requests do
+  not check the token expiry, so a session stays usable for streaming until
+  the session cookie expires. Set the option to `true` to refresh an expired
+  token on these requests. If the IdP rejects the refresh with
+  `invalid_grant`, the request gets `401`. If the IdP cannot be reached, the
+  request is forwarded as before. The request waits for the full refresh, so
+  a rotated refresh token is never lost (`middleware.go`).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Opaque bearer tokens when all three bearer flags are set.** A deployment
+  that sets `enableBearerAuth`, `requireTokenIntrospection` and
+  `allowOpaqueTokens` now accepts opaque bearer tokens after RFC 7662
+  introspection. The last release rejected every non-JWT bearer token. The
+  plugin binds an accepted opaque token to the client through `client_id` or
+  `aud`. It also applies the identifier, token-age, logout, revocation and
+  `nbf` checks (`bearer_auth.go`).
+
+- **Sessions created before this upgrade can omit `post_logout_redirect_uri`
+  on their first logout.** The plugin now builds that parameter only from the
+  redirect-URI origin recorded at login, never from the logout request's
+  host. Older sessions have no recorded origin, so those users stay on the
+  IdP's logout page once (`helpers.go`).
+
+- **Shutdown waits up to 5 seconds for a token refresh in progress.** On
+  shutdown, for example a Traefik reload, the refresh coordinator lets a
+  refresh that already reached the IdP deliver its tokens, then returns
+  (`shutdownRefreshDrainTimeout`, `refresh_coordinator.go`). A refresh that
+  has not started does not start after shutdown.
+
+- **A panic after the request reaches the backend now aborts the
+  connection.** The plugin re-panics it, for example the reverse proxy's
+  `http.ErrAbortHandler` when an upstream drops the connection mid-body. Go's
+  HTTP server then aborts the connection. Before, the plugin recovered the
+  panic, so a truncated response could reach the client as a complete 200. A
+  panic before the request reaches the backend still returns 500
+  (`middleware.go`).
+
+- **private_key_jwt now rejects RSA signing keys under 2048 bits.**
+  `validateAlgKeyMatch` stops `New()` with an error when a configured
+  `private_key_jwt` RS\*/PS\* key is smaller than 2048 bits (RFC 7518 §3.3).
+  A smaller key signs locally, but a conformant IdP rejects it at token
+  exchange with `invalid_client`, so the plugin now fails at construction
+  instead of at every runtime exchange. There is no override: deployments
+  using an RSA key under 2048 bits must generate a 2048-bit-or-larger key
+  before upgrading. The rejection returns a matchable `ErrRSAKeyTooSmall`
+  sentinel (`client_assertion.go`).
+
+- **A discovered `http://` endpoint is now dropped when `providerURL` is
+  `https://`.** `validateDiscoveredEndpoint` refuses to accept an
+  authorization, token, jwks_uri, revocation, end_session, introspection, or
+  registration endpoint served over plaintext HTTP when the operator
+  configured an HTTPS provider (R146): using it as-is would send a client
+  secret or token over an unauthenticated channel. There is no configuration
+  flag to disable this check. A dropped endpoint logs an `ERROR` line; a
+  dropped `token`, `jwks_uri`, or `authorization` endpoint — the three
+  every login needs — additionally logs a `SECURITY:`-prefixed line naming
+  the endpoint, the dropped URL, and the fact that there is no override, so
+  the failure is diagnosable instead of surfacing only as a broken login.
+  See [Discovered Endpoint
+  Validation](docs/CONFIGURATION.md#discovered-endpoint-validation)
+  (`url_helpers.go`, `main.go`).
+
+- **Blacklist entries in Redis use the `blacklist:` key prefix.** The
+  blacklist cache now has its own cache type (`CacheTypeBlacklist`), so its
+  Redis keys move from the shared `token:` prefix to `blacklist:` (R128).
+  A cached token entry and a revocation marker for the same raw token can
+  no longer overwrite each other. For one release, a blacklist miss also
+  reads the legacy `token:<key>` entry and treats it as revoked only when
+  the stored value is boolean `true` (`checkLegacyBlacklistMarker` in
+  `universal_cache.go`, FIX-16). The fallback works in one direction only:
+  during a rolling deploy, a replica that runs the previous version does
+  not see revocations that an upgraded replica writes under `blacklist:`.
+  A blacklist miss checks the legacy `token:` entry at most once per key in
+  each 30 seconds, so the fallback adds little Redis traffic.
+
+- **Claim validation accepts four previously-rejected or silently-dropped
+  claim shapes.** Each change below is intentional, matches a production
+  change, and is pinned by an existing regression test.
+  - `iat` (issued-at) is optional in `jwt.Verify`, per RFC 7519 §4.1.6. A
+    token that omits it is validated on `iss`/`aud`/`exp`/`nbf` alone,
+    instead of being rejected (`jwt.go`, R126). The lenient-audience
+    access-token path (`accessTokenUnexpired` in `token_validation_rs.go`)
+    applies the same rule, because both paths call `verifyTimeClaims`
+    (`jwt.go`, FIX-27). Bearer-token auth still rejects a token with no
+    `iat`: it returns `"missing iat claim"` (`enforceIatAge` in
+    `bearer_auth.go`), because `maxTokenAgeSeconds` always applies — `0`
+    falls back to a 24h default (`main.go`).
+  - A numeric `sub` (bearer-auth identifier) claim is stringified instead of
+    rejected, so an IdP that emits a numeric subject still authenticates
+    (`bearer_auth.go` `resolveBearerIdentifier`, R102).
+  - A `groups`/`roles` claim that is neither a string nor an array (for
+    example a bare number or `null`) is treated as an empty list instead of
+    failing claim extraction outright, so a malformed claim on one side does
+    not suppress a valid claim on the other (`token_manager.go`
+    `extractGroupsAndRolesFromClaims`, R96).
+  - A numeric element inside a `groups`/`roles` array is stringified into
+    the list instead of being silently dropped, so a numeric group ID
+    survives extraction and can match an `allowedRolesAndGroups` entry
+    (`token_manager.go` `stringListFromClaim`, `utilities.go`
+    `claimScalarString`, R105).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- SSE and WebSocket requests now get the configured `headers`, as normal
+  requests do. The last release sent only `X-Forwarded-User` on these
+  requests, so a backend that checks a shared-secret header answered `401`
+  on WebSocket upgrades. The same requests now also honor back-channel and
+  front-channel logout (`middleware.go`, #162).
+- The opaque bearer path rejects a token that `RevokeToken` added to the
+  blacklist, for example at logout. It also rejects an opaque token whose
+  `nbf` is in the future (`bearer_auth.go`).
+- The backchannel-logout replay check treats a Redis error reply such as
+  `READONLY`, `OOM` or `MISCONF` as a failure, not as an unknown outcome. A
+  replayed logout token is now rejected while Redis refuses writes
+  (`internal/cache/backends/redis.go`).
+- After a failed cache write, a replica no longer ignores a newer value that
+  another replica wrote, such as a later logout. The preference for the local
+  value expires after 5 seconds (`backendStaleMarkTTL`, `universal_cache.go`).
+- The token circuit breaker treats HTTP 408 from the token endpoint as a
+  transient failure, the same as 429 (`error_recovery.go`).
+- With `allowUnauthenticatedPreflight` enabled, a preflight response no longer
+  carries a stale `Content-Length` when the backend writes a body without
+  calling `WriteHeader` (`middleware.go`).
+- A dropped `http://` revocation, end-session or introspection endpoint logs
+  the `SECURITY:` line when its override (`revocationURL`, `oidcEndSessionURL`
+  or `introspectionURL`) is not configured (`main.go`).

+# Security Fix: Integer Overflow Protection in Cache Serialization
+
+## Summary
+
+Fixed **High severity** integer overflow vulnerability identified by GitHub Advanced Security in PR #117.
+
+## Vulnerability
+
+**Locations**: `universal_cache.go` lines 789 and 811
+- `result := make([]byte, len(bytes)+1)` - Raw bytes path
+- `result := make([]byte, len(jsonData)+1)` - JSON encoding path
+
+**Risk**: Potential integer overflow when allocating memory for very large cache entries.
+
+## Fix Applied
+
+1. **Added size limit constant**:
+   ```go
+   maxCacheEntrySize = 64 * 1024 * 1024 // 64 MiB
+   ```
+
+2. **Size validation before allocation**:
+   - Validates entry size doesn't exceed limit
+   - Validates adding marker byte won't overflow
+   - Returns descriptive error messages
+
+3. **Comprehensive test coverage**:
+   - Oversized byte slices (>64 MiB)
+   - Exact max size edge case
+   - Safe sizes (normal operation)
+   - Large JSON data structures
+
+## Verification
+
+✅ All tests pass with race detection
+✅ No security issues (golangci-lint, gosec)
+✅ 76.3% test coverage maintained
+
+## Impact
+
+- No breaking changes
+- Negligible performance overhead
+- Prevents potential buffer overflows
+- Predictable memory usage
+
+---
+
+**Date**: January 8, 2026
+**Severity**: High → Resolved

+# Bearer Token (M2M) Authentication
+
+Opt-in path that lets API clients present `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` to
+authenticate without going through the cookie-based OIDC redirect flow.
+Designed for machine-to-machine (M2M) traffic — services calling other
+services with tokens minted by your OIDC provider.
+
+The bearer path lives next to the cookie path: both go through the same
+post-auth pipeline (`forwardAuthorized`) that injects identity headers,
+checks `allowedRolesAndGroups`, applies security headers, and forwards to
+the backend. The only thing that differs is how the principal is established
+for that single request.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```yaml
+enableBearerAuth: true
+audience: https://api.example.com  # REQUIRED when bearer is enabled
+clientID: my-api-client-id
+providerURL: https://issuer.example.com
+sessionEncryptionKey: <32+-byte secret>
+callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+```
+
+That is the minimum. Everything else has a secure default.
+
+## Obtaining bearer tokens from your OIDC provider
+
+The middleware only **validates** bearer tokens — minting them is the IdP's job. For M2M traffic the canonical mint flow is OAuth 2.0 **`client_credentials`** (RFC 6749 §4.4); some providers require **JWT bearer assertion** (RFC 7523) instead.

+
+The IdP returns a JWT signed by the same JWKs the middleware already trusts (it discovers them from `providerURL`/.well-known). On the first protected request, the middleware verifies signature + issuer + **audience** + `exp` + identifier claim, then forwards downstream with `X-Forwarded-User` set.
+
+### Minimal worked example (Auth0-shape)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Mint a token
+curl -s -X POST https://issuer.example.com/oauth/token \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{
+    "grant_type":    "client_credentials",
+    "client_id":     "your-m2m-client-id",
+    "client_secret": "your-m2m-client-secret",
+    "audience":      "https://api.example.com",
+    "scope":         "api:read api:write"
+  }'
+# → {"access_token":"eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs…","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":86400,…}
+
+# 2. Use it
+curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs…' https://api.example.com/protected
+```
+
+The `audience` field in the token request **must match** the `audience` you configured on the middleware. Mismatch → 401 with `Bearer error="invalid_token"`.
+
+### Per-provider quick reference
+
+| Provider | Grant | Token endpoint | Audience parameter | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Auth0** | `client_credentials` | `https://TENANT.auth0.com/oauth/token` | `audience=<your API identifier>` | Register an "API" + "Machine to Machine Application" authorised against that API. Without `audience` you get an opaque /userinfo token, which the bearer path rejects. See `docs/AUTH0_AUDIENCE_GUIDE.md`. |
+| **Okta** | `client_credentials` | `https://TENANT.okta.com/oauth2/default/v1/token` | Configured in the authorization server; default `aud` is the auth-server URL | Service app must enable the `client_credentials` flow and be granted the requested scopes. |
+| **Keycloak** | `client_credentials` | `https://kc/realms/REALM/protocol/openid-connect/token` | Configure an "Audience" mapper on a client scope, or use `client_id` as the audience | Client must have `serviceAccountsEnabled: true` plus role mappings. |
+| **Entra ID / Azure AD** | `client_credentials` (v2.0 endpoint) | `https://login.microsoftonline.com/TENANT/oauth2/v2.0/token` | Pass `scope=<App ID URI>/.default`; `aud` ends up being the API's App ID URI | Requires an App Registration + API permissions + admin consent. **Use the v2.0 endpoint** — v1 issues Microsoft-proprietary access tokens that are opaque to non-Microsoft clients. |
+| **AWS Cognito** | `client_credentials` | `https://YOUR_DOMAIN.auth.REGION.amazoncognito.com/oauth2/token` | Scopes from a "Resource Server" attached to your User Pool | App client must have `client_credentials` flow enabled. Use HTTP **Basic** auth header for `client_id:client_secret`. |
+| **GitLab** | `client_credentials` | `https://gitlab.com/oauth/token` | Audience matches the GitLab issuer | Rarely used for protecting external APIs; better suited for GitLab's own resources. |
+| **Google** | **JWT bearer (RFC 7523)** — *not* `client_credentials` | `https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token` | Signed assertion JWT carries `aud=https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token`; resulting access token is **opaque** unless you specifically request a Google-issued JWT for your API | Google service-account flow is not the best fit for this middleware (opaque tokens are rejected on the bearer path). Run Auth0 / Okta / Keycloak in front, or use ID-token-based flows on the cookie path. |
+
+### RFC 7523 (JWT bearer assertion) — secretless alternative
+
+When shared secrets are forbidden (FAPI, internal compliance), swap `client_secret` for a signed JWT assertion:
+
+```
+POST /token
+grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer
+assertion=<JWT signed by the client's private key>
+```
+
+The assertion JWT carries `iss=<client_id>`, `sub=<client_id>`, `aud=<token endpoint>`, `exp`. The IdP verifies the signature against a public key you've pre-registered and returns an access token.
+
+This middleware already supports JWT assertions on the *middleware → IdP* hop via `clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt` (see `docs/CONFIGURATION.md`). For the *client → IdP* hop, the same pattern applies — the client signs its own assertion.
+
+### Operational notes
+
+- **Token TTL is typically 1–24 hours.** Clients should refresh on `401`, not on a polling timer — saves the IdP.
+- **Cache and reuse tokens.** The middleware caches verified tokens too, so repeated presentations are cheap. Clients SHOULD reuse a token until ~80 % of `expires_in`.
+- **JWKS rotation is transparent.** The middleware auto-refreshes its JWKS cache when the IdP rotates keys. Clients don't need to do anything.
+- **Revocation is generally not per-token** with `client_credentials`. If you need real-time revocation, set `requireTokenIntrospection: true` on the middleware and the IdP is consulted on every cache miss.
+- **`scope` vs `audience`.** Scope says *what the client may do*; audience says *which service the token is for*. The middleware enforces audience; the backend service should enforce scope.
+- **Secret hygiene.** Store `client_secret` in a secrets manager (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Kubernetes `Secret`). For higher assurance, switch the client to `private_key_jwt` (no shared secret at all).
+
+### Quickest validation loop
+
+```bash
+# 1. Mint
+TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST https://issuer.example.com/oauth/token \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"grant_type":"client_credentials","client_id":"…","client_secret":"…","audience":"https://api.example.com"}' \
+  | jq -r .access_token)
+
+# 2. Inspect claims to confirm aud/iss/exp match the middleware config
+echo "$TOKEN" | cut -d. -f2 | base64 -d 2>/dev/null | jq
+
+# 3. Hit the protected route
+curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://api.example.com/protected
+```
+
+`HTTP/1.1 200` with `X-Forwarded-User` on the backend confirms the loop works end-to-end. `401` with `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="invalid_token"` plus a middleware debug log explaining the rejection (audience mismatch, ID token presented, `iat` outside the 24h window, etc.) confirms the hardening is firing as designed.
+
+## Threat model and design rules
+
+Bearer authentication has materially different security properties from
+cookie sessions: no `HttpOnly`/`Secure`/`SameSite` shielding, the token is
+visible in headers and logs, and it's easier to exfiltrate. The bearer path
+treats every one of these as a first-class concern.
+
+| Property | Behaviour | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| Default state | `enableBearerAuth=false` | Bearer is opt-in; existing deployments observe no change. |
+| Audience | **Mandatory.** Startup fails if `audience` is empty when bearer is enabled. | Eliminates the "token issued for service B accepted by service A" confusion attack. |
+| Token format | JWT by default. An opaque (non-JWT) token is accepted only when both `requireTokenIntrospection=true` and `allowOpaqueTokens=true`. | JWTs carry their own signature, audience and issuer; an opaque token has no local verification, so introspection must be turned on explicitly for both purposes before one is trusted. |
+| Opaque token client binding | When `audience` equals `clientID` (the common single-app case), the introspection response must carry a matching `client_id`, or an `aud` that contains `clientID`. | RFC 7662 §2.2 leaves client scoping to the authorization server's own policy. Without this check, any active token from the same IdP — including one issued to a different client — would authenticate. |
+| Opaque token `iat` requirement | The introspection response for an opaque token must carry `iat`. A response with no `iat` is always rejected: `maxTokenAgeSeconds` has no "disabled" value — `0` or unset maps to a 24h default (see the config-reference row below) — so the age bound is always in effect. | Mirrors `enforceIatAge` on the JWT path: with an age bound configured, a token with nothing to bound its age against must fail closed, not skip the check. |
+| Opaque token logout scope | A `sid`-only (front-channel) logout revokes an opaque bearer token only when the introspection response itself carries a `sid`. RFC 7662 does not define `sid`; when the IdP's response omits it, only a `sub`-based (backchannel) logout reaches the opaque token. | The middleware can only match invalidation against fields the introspection response actually returns. |
+| `alg` allowlist | Hard-pinned asymmetric: `RS256/384/512`, `PS256/384/512`, `ES256/384/512`. Checked **before** any JWKS fetch. | Denies `alg=none` and `alg=HS*` probes; prevents attacker noise from amplifying into JWKS round-trips. |
+| `kid` hardening | Max 256 bytes; charset `[A-Za-z0-9._\-=]`. Checked **before** JWKS fetch. | Prevents cache-key explosion / pathological-`kid` JWKS amplification. |
+| Token type | ID tokens are explicitly rejected (`nonce` claim, `typ: at+jwt`, `token_use=id`, scope/aud heuristics — reuses the existing `detectTokenType` helper). | ID tokens are not API credentials; treating them as such is classic token confusion. |
+| Multi-audience | When `aud` is an array of length > 1, the token must carry `azp == clientID`. | OIDC §2 hardening against tokens minted for one client being replayed by another. |
+| `iat` upper-age | Rejects tokens older than `maxTokenAgeSeconds` (default 24h). | Bounds clock-manipulation / forever-token abuse, even if `exp` is far in the future. |
+| Identifier claim | `bearerIdentifierClaim` (default `"sub"`). Resolved value drives `X-Forwarded-User`. | Decoupled from the cookie path's `UserIdentifierClaim` (default `email`) so the M2M flow can never accidentally trust an unverified email. |
+| Identifier sanitisation | Length cap (`maxIdentifierLength`, default 256). Rejects control chars, Unicode bidi-overrides (U+202A–U+202E, U+2066–U+2069), and the delimiters `, ; =`. | Defence in depth against downstream header injection / log injection / admin-UI spoofing. |
+| JTI replay marking | No request path writes an access-token JTI to a replay cache (the only JTI replay check left is for backchannel logout tokens). Revocation still works without it: `RevokeToken` (called from logout) blacklists the raw token and, for a JWT, its `jti`; both the JWT and the opaque bearer path check that blacklist — raw token always, plus `jti` when the introspection response carries one — before accepting the token. | Revocation without replay-detection overhead: a legitimately reused, non-revoked bearer token is never falsely flagged as a replay. |
+| Mixed bearer + cookie | **Cookie wins by default.** Flip to bearer-wins with `bearerOverridesCookie=true`. | Safer against browser/extension/proxy bearer injection scenarios. The cookie is the authoritative authenticator when present. |
+| `Authorization` strip | `stripAuthorizationHeader=true` by default. | Keeps the raw token out of downstream services and their logs. |
+| Excluded URLs | `Authorization` is stripped on excluded paths when `enableBearerAuth=true`. | Prevents bearer leakage into public health/metrics endpoint logs and prevents recon via excluded paths. |
+| Per-IP throttle | After `bearerFailureThreshold` consecutive 401s from one source IP within `bearerFailureWindowSeconds`, further bearer requests from that IP return `429 Too Many Requests` + `Retry-After` for `bearerFailurePenaltySeconds`. | Limits offline-guessing-style attacks and protects the shared rate-limiter / JWKS endpoint. |
+| Optional introspection | `requireTokenIntrospection=true` calls RFC 7662 introspection on every cache miss. Introspection result is cached briefly. Only an HTTP 200 response with `active=false` returns `401`; any other endpoint failure (network error, or any other status including 401/403/408/429) returns `503`. | RFC 7662 §2.3 defines a 401/403 from the introspection endpoint as the resource's own client credentials being rejected, not a statement about the presented token, so it must never be read as "token revoked". |
+| Response shape | `401 Unauthorized` with generic body. `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="invalid_token"` per RFC 6750 §3 (toggleable via `bearerEmitWWWAuthenticate`). `403` for roles/groups denial. `429` for throttle. `503` for introspection-endpoint outage. | Auditable from spec to code; reason categories never leak into the response body. |
+| Logging | Failure reason + identifier hash (SHA-256 truncated to 8 hex chars) logged at debug. Raw tokens are never logged. | Audit trail without secrets-in-logs. |
+
+## Configuration reference
+
+| Field | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `enableBearerAuth` | `false` | Master switch for the bearer path. |
+| `audience` | (unset) | **Required** when `enableBearerAuth=true`. Reuses the existing global `audience` field. |
+| `bearerIdentifierClaim` | `"sub"` | JWT claim used as the principal identifier. `"email"` is rejected at startup. |
+| `stripAuthorizationHeader` | `true` | Remove the `Authorization` header before forwarding to the backend. Disable only when a downstream needs to re-verify the bearer. |
+| `bearerEmitWWWAuthenticate` | `true` | Include `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="..."` on 401 responses (RFC 6750 §3). Disable to reduce recon signal. |
+| `bearerOverridesCookie` | `false` | Cookie wins when both are present (default). Set `true` for the AWS/GCP/Kubernetes bearer-wins convention. |
+| `maxTokenAgeSeconds` | `86400` | Upper bound on `iat` claim age. `0` and unset both map to the 24h default — there is no value that disables the check. A JWT or opaque-introspection response with no `iat` is rejected once this bound is in effect, which it always is. |
+| `maxIdentifierLength` | `256` | Length cap for the post-sanitisation identifier. |
+| `bearerFailureThreshold` | `20` | Consecutive 401s from one IP that trip the throttle. |
+| `bearerFailureWindowSeconds` | `60` | Rolling window over which 401s are counted. |
+| `bearerFailurePenaltySeconds` | `60` | Duration of the 429 penalty box after the threshold trips. |
+| `requireTokenIntrospection` | `false` | Call RFC 7662 introspection on every cache miss. Adds per-request IdP latency. |
+| `allowOpaqueTokens` | `false` | Accept an opaque (non-JWT) bearer token, introspected via `requireTokenIntrospection`. Both flags are required together; this flag alone has no effect on the bearer path. |
+
+## What the bearer path does NOT do
+
+- **Human-user / browser flows.** The bearer path is M2M-only in this
+  iteration. Browser SPAs that want to attach a bearer to fetch calls work
+  if your backend treats them as machine clients, but the spec defaults are
+  tuned for service-to-service traffic.
+- **Opaque access tokens by default.** Tokens must be JWTs unless both
+  `requireTokenIntrospection=true` and `allowOpaqueTokens=true` are set. For a
+  JWT, introspection stays a revocation overlay on top of local verification,
+  not a substitute for it; an opaque token has no local verification, so
+  introspection is its only check.
+- **`email_verified` enforcement.** The bearer path rejects `email` as the
+  identifier claim at startup precisely because `email_verified` is not
+  enforced in this iteration. Adding human-user bearer support is a
+  follow-up that must include this check.
+- **mTLS / API keys.** Out of scope. The `principal` abstraction enables
+  adding these later as additional auth methods that produce a principal
+  for the shared `forwardAuthorized` pipeline.
+- **SSE / WebSocket bypass with bearer.** Bypass paths keep their existing
+  cookie-only behaviour; bearer headers are ignored on those endpoints.
+  Documented limitation; widen by removing the bypass if you need bearer on
+  streaming endpoints.
+
+## Operational guidance
+
+- **Always set `strictAudienceValidation: true` when bearer is enabled.**
+  Startup logs a recommendation if you don't.
+- **Set a tight `maxTokenAgeSeconds`** for environments where tokens are
+  expected to be minted frequently — the default 24h is conservative.
+- **Enable `requireTokenIntrospection`** if your IdP supports it and
+  revocation latency matters. Bearer-path introspection caches results for
+  a short window per token.
+- **Also set `allowOpaqueTokens=true`** if your clients present opaque
+  (non-JWT) access tokens. `requireTokenIntrospection` alone does not admit
+  an opaque token; both flags are required together. Confirm your IdP's
+  introspection response carries `client_id` or `aud` so the client-binding
+  check above can pass.
+- **Monitor 429s.** Sustained 429 traffic indicates either a buggy client
+  loop or an active credential-stuffing attempt. The throttle is your
+  primary signal for both.
+- **`stripAuthorizationHeader=false` extends the token's blast radius** to
+  every downstream service that sees the request. Treat those services'
+  logs as token stores.
+- **Bearer reuse is normal.** Don't enable per-token rate limiting; that's
+  what `bearerFailureThreshold` is for (per-IP, not per-token).
+- **Cookie-wins is the safer default.** Only flip `bearerOverridesCookie`
+  if you control all clients and have audited that none of them present a
+  cookie alongside a bearer they don't intend to authenticate with.

+## Client Authentication
+
+The middleware supports three client authentication methods at the token and
+revocation endpoints. The default is `client_secret_post` (current behavior);
+`private_key_jwt` is opt-in and backwards compatible.
+
+| Method | Default | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `client_secret_post` | yes | `client_id` + `client_secret` in the request body. |
+| `client_secret_basic` | no | RFC 6749 §2.3.1 — `client_id` + `client_secret` in the `Authorization: Basic` header (form-urlencoded then base64); not in the body. |
+| `private_key_jwt` | no | RFC 7523 §2.2 — plugin signs a short-lived JWT with a private key and sends it as `client_assertion`. |
+
+Select via `clientAuthMethod`:
+
+```yaml
+clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt
+```
+
+### client_secret_post
+
+Default. The plugin sends `client_id` and `client_secret` as form parameters
+in the token / revocation request body. No additional configuration required.
+
+### private_key_jwt
+
+Asymmetric client authentication per
+[RFC 7523 §2.2](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7523). Use this when your
+IdP enforces short secret TTLs, when policy mandates secretless clients, or
+when you want to avoid distributing a shared secret to the proxy.
+
+For each token / revocation request the plugin builds a JWS with:
+
+- `iss` = `sub` = `clientID`
+- `aud` = token endpoint URL
+- `iat` = now, `exp` = now + 60s
+- `jti` = random hex per request
+- `kid` header = `clientAssertionKeyID`
+
+**Required fields:**
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `clientAuthMethod` | string | `client_secret_post` | Set to `private_key_jwt`. |
+| `clientAssertionPrivateKey` | string | none | Inline PEM private key. Mutually exclusive with `clientAssertionKeyPath`. PKCS#8, PKCS#1, and SEC1 formats accepted. |
+| `clientAssertionKeyPath` | string | none | Path to PEM private key on disk. Mutually exclusive with `clientAssertionPrivateKey`. |
+| `clientAssertionKeyID` | string | none | `kid` header inserted in the JWS. Must match the public key registered with the IdP. |
+| `clientAssertionAlg` | string | `RS256` | One of `RS256`, `RS384`, `RS512`, `PS256`, `PS384`, `PS512`, `ES256`, `ES384`, `ES512`. |
+
+When `clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt`, `clientSecret` is optional.
+
+With `clientAssertionAlg` set to `RS256`, `RS384`, `RS512`, `PS256`, `PS384`,
+or `PS512`, the RSA key must be 2048 bits or larger (RFC 7518 §3.3). The
+plugin rejects a smaller key at startup instead of at every token exchange.
+There is no override for this check.
+
+**Example — inline PEM:**
+
+```yaml

+        -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
+```
+
+**Example — key on disk:**
+
+```yaml
+clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt
+clientAssertionKeyPath: /etc/traefik/oidc/client-key.pem
+clientAssertionKeyID: key-2026-01
+clientAssertionAlg: RS256
+```
+
+**Generating an RS256 key with OpenSSL:**
+
+```bash
+openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 \
+  -out client-key.pem
+openssl rsa -in client-key.pem -pubout -out client-pub.pem
+```
+
+Register `client-pub.pem` (or its JWK form) with your IdP under the same
+`kid` you set in `clientAssertionKeyID`.
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- The private key is parsed once at plugin startup. Key rotation requires a
+  Traefik reload.
+- Assertion lifetime is fixed at 60 seconds.
+- A fresh random `jti` is generated per request.
+- The `aud` claim is the token endpoint URL (from discovery).
+- Tracking issue:
+  [#135](https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/135).
+
+### client_secret_basic
+
+Per [RFC 6749 §2.3.1][rfc6749-2-3-1], the plugin sends the client credentials
+in an `Authorization: Basic` header instead of the body. Both halves
+(`client_id`, `client_secret`) are form-urlencoded individually, joined with
+a colon, then base64-encoded. Use this when your IdP requires Basic auth at
+the token endpoint and rejects credentials in the body.
+
+```yaml
+clientAuthMethod: client_secret_basic
+clientID: your-client-id
+clientSecret: your-client-secret
+```

+
+### Logout Behavior
+
+A request to `logoutURL` clears the session, redirects the browser, and
+also revokes the session's tokens.
+
+1. The plugin blacklists the access, ID, and refresh tokens locally, so this
+   instance rejects them immediately.
+2. If `revocationURL` is set or discovered, the plugin also revokes the
+   access token and the refresh token at the provider (RFC 7009). Each
+   revocation call times out after 3 seconds. The two calls run one after
+   the other, so together they can delay the logout redirect by up to about
+   6 seconds. A revocation failure logs at error level and does not stop
+   the redirect. Deployments with no revocation endpoint log nothing for
+   this step.
+3. The plugin redirects to `oidcEndSessionURL` (RP-initiated logout) only
+   when `oidcEndSessionURL` is set or discovered and the session still
+   holds an ID token. Otherwise it redirects to `postLogoutRedirectURI`.
+4. When the plugin uses `oidcEndSessionURL`, it also sends
+   `post_logout_redirect_uri`. An absolute `postLogoutRedirectURI` value is
+   sent unchanged. A relative value, or the default `/`, is joined to the
+   origin of the redirect URI recorded at login. The plugin does not use
+   the logout request's `Host` header for this, because a client can spoof
+   it. The plugin omits the parameter only for a session created before
+   that origin was recorded. The provider then decides where to send the
+   user.
 
 ### TLS Termination at Load Balancer
 
-If running Traefik behind a load balancer (AWS ALB, Google Cloud LB, Azure App Gateway) that terminates TLS:
+`forceHTTPS` defaults to `true`, so redirect URIs always use `https://`. This is
+the correct default behind any TLS-terminating load balancer (AWS ALB, Google
+Cloud LB, Azure App Gateway) — `X-Forwarded-Proto` cannot be trusted (ALB may
+overwrite it).
 
-```yaml
-forceHTTPS: true  # Required for correct redirect URIs
-```
+Set `forceHTTPS: false` only when you serve OIDC over plaintext HTTP (local
+dev). Otherwise leave it at default.
 
-Without this setting, redirect URIs will use `http://` instead of `https://`, causing OAuth callback failures.
+### Streaming Endpoints (SSE and WebSocket)
+
+The middleware automatically bypasses the OIDC redirect for two request kinds
+that browsers cannot follow a 302 on:
+
+| Bypass | Triggered by |
+|--------|--------------|
+| Server-Sent Events (SSE) | `Accept: text/event-stream` |
+| WebSocket upgrade | `Upgrade: websocket` + `Connection: upgrade` (RFC 6455) |
+
+These requests do **not** require any explicit configuration — they are
+handled implicitly. However, the bypass is **not** unauthenticated:
+
+- A valid, encrypted session cookie is required. Requests without one are
+  rejected (the connection cannot proceed to the backend).
+- The session cookie is sealed with `sessionEncryptionKey`, so the
+  `authenticated` flag cannot be forged.
+- Validation is cookie-only — no JWK fetch / signature verification — so
+  streaming endpoints keep working when the OIDC provider is briefly
+  unavailable.
+- The user identifier from the session is forwarded as `X-Forwarded-User`
+  (and `X-Auth-Request-User` unless `minimalHeaders: true`).
+
+For browser clients, the user must complete the normal OIDC flow on a
+regular HTTP page first; the resulting session cookie is then reused on the
+SSE / WebSocket connection.

+### Discovered Endpoint Validation
+
+When `providerURL` is `https://`, the plugin drops any endpoint the
+`.well-known/openid-configuration` document advertises as plain `http://`
+(authorization, token, jwks_uri, revocation, end_session, introspection,
+registration). A dropped credential-bearing endpoint would otherwise send
+the client secret or a token over an unauthenticated channel. There is no
+configuration flag to disable this check.
+
+A dropped endpoint logs an `ERROR`-level line naming it, and a dropped
+`token`, `jwks_uri`, or `authorization` endpoint — the three logins cannot
+function without — additionally logs a `SECURITY:`-prefixed line, because a
+blank endpoint otherwise fails every login with no other signal:
+
+```
+SECURITY: dropped the discovered token endpoint "http://idp.example.com/token": it is plaintext http while providerURL "https://idp.example.com" is https, and this check has no override; requests needing the token endpoint will fail until the provider serves it over https
+```
+
+The `revocationURL`, `oidcEndSessionURL` and `introspectionURL` config
+fields can supply those three endpoints directly, and when you set one of
+them, a plaintext-`http://` drop of the matching discovered endpoint does
+not break anything — the override replaces the endpoint right after
+sanitize runs and the `SECURITY:` line does not fire for it.
+
+Leave the override unset, though, and a drop is exactly as terminal as it is
+for `token`, `jwks_uri` and `authorization`: RP-initiated logout falls back
+to a local-only redirect (the IdP session stays alive), provider-side
+revocation is skipped, or `requireTokenIntrospection` breaks — all with no
+signal beyond the generic `ERROR` line. So `revocation`, `end_session` and
+`introspection` log the same `SECURITY:` line too, whenever the matching
+override is not set. `registration` never logs the `SECURITY:` line, under
+any configuration — it is not covered by this check. Dynamic Client
+Registration reads its own, separate override
+(`dynamicClientRegistration.registrationEndpoint`), independently of this
+discovery step, but only when you set it: leave it unset and a
+plaintext-`http://` drop of the discovered registration endpoint makes
+Dynamic Client Registration fail with only the generic `ERROR` line above —
+no `SECURITY:`-tagged signal, unlike `revocation`, `end_session` and
+`introspection`.
+
+`token`, `jwks_uri` and `authorization` log the `SECURITY:` line
+unconditionally — these three have no config field that can supply them at
+all, so a drop always breaks login regardless of any other setting.
+
+If your IdP's discovery document ever advertises an `http://` endpoint under
+an `https://` `providerURL`, fix the discovery document (for example, a
+TLS-terminating proxy in front of the IdP that does not forward
+`X-Forwarded-Proto`) rather than relying on the plugin to relax the check.

+`get` (`{{get .Claims "employee_id"}}`). Subfields of a whitelisted map-valued
+claim (e.g. `realm_access.roles`) are already accessible without listing them
+individually.
+
+**`toJson`** forwards an object or array claim as one JSON header:
+
+```yaml
+allowedClaims:
+  - tenant
+headers:
+  - name: "X-Tenant"
+    value: "{{get .Claims \"tenant\" | toJson}}"
+```
+
+It only serializes values the template can already reach, so the whitelist
+still applies; `{{toJson .Claims}}` is rejected. Control characters are
+JSON-escaped, and values over 8192 bytes or with bidi-override characters are

+# Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591)
+
+The middleware can register itself with an OIDC provider at startup instead of
+using a pre-provisioned `clientID` / `clientSecret`. Useful for multi-tenant
+deployments, self-service integrations, and ephemeral environments.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. Middleware reads `registration_endpoint` from `.well-known/openid-configuration`.
+2. If `clientID` is empty, it `POST`s `clientMetadata` to the registration endpoint.
+3. Returned `client_id` / `client_secret` are cached, optionally persisted.
+4. Subsequent requests use the registered credentials.
+
+For multi-replica deployments, set `storageBackend: redis` so all replicas
+share one client and avoid registration races.
+
+## Configuration
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Middleware
+metadata:
+  name: oidc-dcr
+  namespace: traefik
+spec:
+  plugin:

+          token_endpoint_auth_method: client_secret_basic
+          contacts: [admin@example.com]
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|
+| `enabled` | `false` | Enable DCR. |
+| `persistCredentials` | `false` | Save returned credentials for reuse across restarts. |
+| `storageBackend` | `auto` | `file`, `redis`, or `auto` (Redis if available, else file). |
+| `credentialsFile` | `/tmp/oidc-client-credentials.json` | Path for file-backed storage. Mode `0600`. |
+| `redisKeyPrefix` | (none — set explicitly) | Key prefix for Redis-backed storage. The code does not inject a default; if unset, keys have no prefix. `dcr:creds:` is a sensible convention. |
+| `registrationEndpoint` | discovered | Override the discovered endpoint. |
+| `initialAccessToken` | none | Bearer token for protected registration endpoints. |
+| `clientMetadata.redirect_uris` | required | Callback URIs for the OAuth flow. |
+| `clientMetadata.client_name` | none | Human-readable client name. |
+| `clientMetadata.application_type` | `web` | `web` or `native`. |
+| `clientMetadata.grant_types` | `[authorization_code, refresh_token]` | OAuth grant types. |
+| `clientMetadata.response_types` | `[code]` | OAuth response types. |
+| `clientMetadata.token_endpoint_auth_method` | `client_secret_basic` | `client_secret_basic`, `client_secret_post`, or `none`. |
+| `clientMetadata.scope` | none | Space-separated scopes. |
+| `clientMetadata.contacts` | none | Admin email addresses. |
+| `clientMetadata.logo_uri` | none | Logo URL for consent screens. |
+| `clientMetadata.client_uri` | none | Client homepage URL. |
+| `clientMetadata.policy_uri` | none | Privacy policy URL. |
+| `clientMetadata.tos_uri` | none | Terms of service URL. |
+
+## Provider support
+
+The middleware does not gate DCR by provider — if the provider exposes a
+`registration_endpoint` in its discovery document (or you set
+`registrationEndpoint` explicitly), DCR will attempt registration. The table
+below is informational guidance based on each provider's published support.
+
+| Provider | DCR | Notes |
+|----------|-----|-------|
+| Keycloak | Yes | Enable in realm settings. |
+| Auth0 | Yes | Requires Management API token. |
+| Okta | Yes | Enable Dynamic Client Registration in admin console. |
+| Azure AD | Limited | Use App Registration API instead. |
+| Google | No | Manual registration required. |
+| AWS Cognito | No | Manual registration required. |
+
+## Security notes
+
+- Registration endpoints must be HTTPS (loopback excepted for local dev).
+- Use `initialAccessToken` in production to gate registration.
+- File-backed credentials use `0600`; protect the mount path.
+- The plugin marks credentials invalid when within ~5 min of `client_secret_expires_at` but does **not** automatically re-register. If your provider sets a non-zero expiry, schedule manual rotation (delete the credentials file or Redis entry, restart) before that time.

+# RFC 8707 Resource Indicators
+
+`resource` ([Config.Resource](../settings.go)) is an alternative to `audience` for IdPs that
+implement [RFC 8707](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8707). See
+[docs/CONFIGURATION.md](CONFIGURATION.md#audience-validation) for the config reference; this
+document covers exactly what request is made and which providers support it.
+
+## What the plugin sends
+
+- One `resource` parameter on the authorization request (`buildAuthURL`), added before
+  `extraAuthParams` so an operator-configured `resource` key there cannot override or
+  duplicate it.
+- The same `resource` parameter on both the `authorization_code` and `refresh_token` grants
+  (`exchangeTokens`), per RFC 8707 §2.2 — so a refreshed token keeps the same audience binding
+  as the original grant.
+
+Only a single resource is supported, not a list. RFC 8707 allows a server to accept multiple
+`resource` values and scope the issued token to a subset of them, but no provider found to
+support the parameter at all handles that usefully: one provider tested rejects a request
+naming more than one resource with HTTP 400 `invalid_target`; node-oidc-provider accepts
+multiple resources but issues an opaque access token bound to none of them. A single value
+avoids both failure modes.
+
+## Relationship to `audience`
+
+`resource` and `audience` both feed the same access-token audience check —
+`strictAudienceValidation` applies identically to either — but they produce different requests
+on the wire:
+
+- `audience`, when explicitly configured, is sent as a non-standard `audience` request
+  parameter (see [docs/AUTH0\_AUDIENCE\_GUIDE.md](AUTH0_AUDIENCE_GUIDE.md)).
+- `resource` is sent as the RFC 8707 `resource` parameter instead.
+- If `resource` is set and `audience` is not, the expected-audience check defaults to the
+  resource value, but this is validation-only: it does not cause an `audience` parameter to be
+  sent. Setting both is allowed — e.g. as a hedge against a provider that ignores `resource` —
+  in which case both parameters are sent.
+
+## Provider support
+
+Verified 2026-09-02 (Zitadel reverified separately against a live instance). RFC 8707 requires
+a server that does not support `resource` to *ignore* it, but not every implementation does —
+verify against your specific provider and version before relying on it.
+
+| Provider | Support | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| node-oidc-provider | Supported | Via its `resourceIndicators` feature. |
+| Zitadel | Ignored, not rejected | `oidc.AuthRequest` has no `resource` field; confirmed against a live instance — `/oauth/v2/authorize` returns the same `302` with or without `resource`, including a spec-invalid value. |
+| Authentik | Rejected | Returns `invalid_target` ("Resource indicators are not supported"). |
+| Keycloak | Not supported (through 26.6) | Its own guidance is an audience mapper plus `scope` instead ([keycloak/keycloak#41526](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/41526)). |
+| Ory Hydra / Fosite | Not implemented | Uses its own non-standard `audience` request parameter instead. |
+| Azure AD / Entra ID v2.0 (MSAL) | Reported to reject | When combined with v2-style `scope`, rather than ignoring it ([writeup](https://www.groff.dev/blog/azure-entra-id-mcp-server-authentication-incompatibilities)). Do not enable against an Entra ID v2 tenant without confirming. The v1.0 endpoint has a separate, pre-RFC `resource` parameter with similar but not identical semantics. |
+| Auth0 | Not verified | Documents a Resource Parameter Compatibility Profile mapping `resource` → `audience` ([Auth0 docs](https://auth0.com/ai/docs/mcp/guides/resource-param-compatibility-profile)). |
+| AWS Cognito | Not verified | Announced Oct 2025 for user-pool authorization-code/implicit grants ([announcement](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/10/amazon-cognito-resource-indicators-protection-oauth-2-0-resources)). |

+# Bearer Token Authentication — Design Spec
+
+- **Date**: 2026-05-18
+- **Status**: Design — pending implementation plan
+- **Supersedes**: PR #93 (broken implementation; recommended to close in favour of this design)
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+Add an opt-in path that lets API clients (machine-to-machine) authenticate by presenting a signed access token in the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header, bypassing the cookie-based OIDC redirect flow. Identity, roles, and authorization checks remain consistent with the existing cookie path; the only thing that changes is how the principal is established for that single request.
+
+The feature is implemented by extracting a shared `forwardAuthorized` pipeline from the existing `processAuthorizedRequest`, introducing a `principal` value type, and adding a small bearer-specific entrypoint that builds a principal directly from a verified JWT — without synthesising a fake `SessionData`.
+
+## 2. Motivation
+
+PR #93 attempted this feature by building an in-memory `SessionData` from JWT claims and reusing `processAuthorizedRequest`. The approach has three latent defects:
+
+1. The synthetic session omits `mainSession.Values["user_identifier"]`. `processAuthorizedRequest` reads it via `GetUserIdentifier()`; when empty it bails to `defaultInitiateAuthentication` and issues an OIDC redirect. The feature is non-functional in practice despite the unit test passing.
+2. `verifyToken` accepts both ID tokens (audience match against `clientID`) and access tokens. ID tokens are not API credentials; treating them as such is a classic token-confusion vector.
+3. `verifyToken` adds JTI to the replay blacklist on first verify. Once the verified-token cache evicts, subsequent reuse of the same bearer token triggers a false-positive replay rejection.
+
+Rather than patch a synthetic-session approach that will keep generating bugs as `SessionData` evolves, this spec replaces it with a cleaner abstraction where session lifecycle and post-auth header injection live in separate units.
+
+## 3. Goals
+
+- Accept `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` from M2M clients, validate the token, and forward the request downstream with identity headers populated.
+- Enforce the same `allowedRolesAndGroups` policy as the cookie path.
+- Default-off; safe defaults when enabled (audience required, ID tokens rejected, identifier sanitised).
+- No behavioural change to the cookie path. Existing tests must continue to pass without modification.
+
+## 4. Non-Goals
+
+- Human-user / browser flows. Bearer is M2M-only in this iteration.
+- Pure opaque access tokens on the bearer path. Tokens must be JWTs; introspection (RFC 7662) is supported *on top of* JWT verification for revocation state, not as a substitute for it.
+- mTLS, API keys, or any other auth method. The `principal` abstraction enables them later, but they are not delivered here.
+- Per-route bearer configuration. Single middleware-wide setting.
+
+## 5. Decided Requirements
+
+| Topic | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Consumer type | Machine-to-machine (M2M) only |
+| Token format | JWT only (signature, issuer, audience, exp) |
+| Audience | Mandatory when feature enabled; startup fails if `Audience == ""` |
+| Token type | Access tokens only; ID tokens explicitly rejected |
+| Revocation | JWT-only verification by default; introspection (RFC 7662) opt-in via existing `RequireTokenIntrospection` |
+| Identity claim | New `BearerIdentifierClaim` config (string, default `"sub"`). Bearer path reads this claim exclusively; does NOT use `UserIdentifierClaim` (which defaults to `"email"` and drives the cookie path). Resolved value must be a non-empty string. `sub` is mandatory per `jwt.go:416` regardless, so even with a different `BearerIdentifierClaim` the token must still carry a valid `sub`. Decoupling avoids the M2M-vs-human-user identity-claim conflict and the email-spoofing footgun. |
+| Identifier sanitisation | Reject value containing any `unicode.IsControl` char, any Unicode bidi-override (U+202A–U+202E, U+2066–U+2069), leading/trailing whitespace, commas, semicolons, equals signs. Max length 256 bytes. |
+| Token classifier | **Reuse existing `detectTokenType(jwt, token)` at `token_manager.go:187-303`** which already handles `nonce`, `typ: at+jwt`, `token_use`, `scope`, and aud-vs-clientID priority. Bearer path rejects any token where `detectTokenType == true` (ID token). Do not invent a parallel classifier. |
+| Algorithm pinning | Hard-pin `alg ∈ {RS256, RS384, RS512, PS256, PS384, PS512, ES256, ES384, ES512}`, enforced **before** JWKS lookup on the bearer path. Prevents wasted JWKS fetches for `alg=none`/HS attacker probes. |
+| `kid` hardening | `kid` ≤ 256 bytes, charset `[A-Za-z0-9._\-=]`. Reject before JWKS lookup. |
+| Token age | Bearer path enforces `now - iat <= MaxTokenAgeSeconds` (default 86400 / 24h, configurable). Cookie path unchanged. |
+| Multi-audience policy | If `aud` is an array (length > 1), require `azp` claim to be present and equal to `clientID`. Single-string `aud` unaffected. |
+| Mixed bearer + cookie precedence | **Cookie wins by default** when both are presented (safer for browser scenarios). Operator opt-in: `BearerOverridesCookie=true` to flip. Either way, a warning is logged on the request. |
+| Bearer + excluded URL | `Authorization` header is **stripped** before forwarding when the request hits an excluded URL. Prevents bearer leaking into public endpoints' downstream logs and prevents recon via excluded paths. |
+| Per-source bearer 401 throttle | New sharded cache `failedBearerAttempts` keyed by client IP. After N (default 20) consecutive 401s from one IP within 1 minute, reject further bearer requests from that IP with 429 for 60s. Applied BEFORE `verifyToken` to deny JWKS amplification. |
+| `Authorization` header passthrough | New `StripAuthorizationHeader` config, default `true` |
+| Roles/groups gating | Same `allowedRolesAndGroups` rules as cookie path |
+| Default state | `EnableBearerAuth` = `false` |
+| JTI replay marking | Suppressed on bearer path; cookie path unchanged |
+| Failure response shape | 401 with generic body; `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="invalid_token"` per RFC 6750 |
+| Introspection endpoint outage | 503 (distinguishes infra outage from token rejection) |
+| Mixed bearer + cookie | Bearer wins; cookie ignored on that request |
+| SSE/WS bypass + bearer | Bypass paths keep cookie-only check; bearer header ignored on SSE/WS |
+

+```
+
+**Invariant**: `forwardAuthorized` never touches session storage. Session-specific concerns (Save, IsDirty, backchannel-logout invalidation) stay inside `processAuthorizedRequest` around the call to `forwardAuthorized`.
+
+**Feature gate**: when `EnableBearerAuth == false`, the bearer-detection check in `ServeHTTP` is a no-op. Existing deployments observe byte-identical behaviour.
+
+## 7. Components
+
+### 7.1 `principal` type (new file `principal.go`)
+
+```go
+type principalSource int
+
+const (
+    sourceSession principalSource = iota
+    sourceBearer
+)
+
+type principal struct {
+    Identifier   string                 // drives X-Forwarded-User
+    Email        string                 // optional, "" for M2M
+    Subject      string                 // sub claim
+    ClientID     string                 // azp / client_id, M2M caller
+    Claims       map[string]interface{} // raw claims for templates / groups
+    AccessToken  string                 // for X-Auth-Request-Token (gated by minimalHeaders)
+    IDToken      string                 // "" on bearer path
+    RefreshToken string                 // "" on bearer path
+    Source       principalSource
+}
+```
+
+Pure data. No methods that mutate it. No I/O. No manager pointer.
+
+### 7.2 `buildPrincipalFromSession(*SessionData) *principal` (new in `principal.go`)
+
+Read-only adapter over existing `SessionData` getters: `GetUserIdentifier`, `GetEmail`, `GetAccessToken`, `GetIDToken`, `GetRefreshToken`, cached claims via `GetIDTokenClaims`. Does not write back to the session. This is the only function that still knows about `SessionData`.
+
+### 7.3 `buildPrincipalFromBearerToken(token string) (*principal, error)` (new in `bearer_auth.go`)
+
+1. **Length / format guards**: `len(token) <= AccessTokenConfig.MaxLength`, exactly two dots, non-empty after trim.
+2. **Parse header for early alg/kid pinning** (without trusting payload): decode JOSE header; reject if `alg` ∉ asymmetric allowlist; reject if `kid` missing, > 256 bytes, or contains chars outside `[A-Za-z0-9._\-=]`. This happens **before** JWKS lookup so attacker noise doesn't amplify into JWKS fetches.
+3. **Per-IP 401 throttle check**: if this IP is in the `failedBearerAttempts` penalty box, return 429 immediately.
+4. `t.verifyToken(token, verifyOpts{skipReplayMarking: true})` — reuses signature, issuer, audience, expiration, JTI Get (replay detection). The `skipReplayMarking` flag gates ONLY the JTI Set at `token_manager.go:108-143`; the JTI Get at `token_manager.go:44-47, 80-89` remains active so revoked tokens (via `RevokeToken` adding to blacklist) are still rejected.
+5. **Re-parse claims** (`parseJWT(token)` is cheap and already done internally; reuse via a single decode if practical).
+6. **Token-type guard**: call existing `detectTokenType(jwt, token)` (`token_manager.go:187-303`). Reject when it returns `true` (ID token). Belt-and-braces: also reject if `claims["nonce"]` is a non-empty string or `claims["token_use"] == "id"`.
+7. **Multi-audience hardening**: if `claims["aud"]` is a `[]interface{}` with length > 1, require `claims["azp"]` to be a non-empty string equal to `t.clientID`; reject otherwise.
+8. **`iat` upper-age bound**: reject when `time.Now().Unix() - int64(claims["iat"].(float64)) > MaxTokenAgeSeconds` (default 86400).
+9. **Optional introspection**: if `requireTokenIntrospection` is set, call `introspectToken`; reject if `active == false` (401); surface 503 on transport failure. Bearer-path introspection cache TTL is capped at 60s (not 5min) to keep the "real-time revocation" promise close to true.
+10. **Identifier resolution**: read `t.bearerIdentifierClaim` (defaults to `"sub"`); do NOT use `t.userIdentifierClaim` (cookie path's setting, default `email`). The bearer path does NOT fall back to other claims because `jwt.Verify` already enforces non-empty `sub` (`jwt.go:416-419`). Empty/missing identifier → 401.
+11. **Identifier sanitisation**: trim, then reject if length > 256 OR contains any of: `unicode.IsControl`, bidi-override (U+202A–U+202E, U+2066–U+2069), `,`, `;`, `=`.
+12. Return `&principal{ Source: sourceBearer, … }`.
+
+On any failure path: increment the per-IP `failedBearerAttempts` counter; return the appropriate HTTP status (401 / 403 / 429 / 503) without revealing the failure reason in the response body. Reason is logged at debug only, with the identifier (if resolved) hashed via SHA-256 truncated to 8 hex chars.
+
+### 7.4 `forwardAuthorized(rw, req, *principal)` (new in `middleware.go`, extracted)
+
+The shared post-auth pipeline. Lifted verbatim from the existing `processAuthorizedRequest`:
+
+1. Roles/groups extraction via existing `extractGroupsAndRolesFromClaims`.
+2. `allowedRolesAndGroups` gate (existing logic).
+3. Inject `X-Forwarded-User`, `X-User-Groups`, `X-User-Roles`.
+4. Inject `X-Auth-Request-*` (gated by `minimalHeaders`).
+5. Header templates.
+6. Security headers.
+7. Cookie strip when `stripAuthCookies`.
+8. **New**: `Authorization` header strip when `stripAuthorizationHeader` AND `principal.Source == sourceBearer`.
+9. `t.next.ServeHTTP(rw, req)`.
+
+Does not call `Save`, does not check `IsDirty`. Session persistence stays with the cookie-path caller.
+
+### 7.5 `handleBearerRequest(rw, req)` (new in `bearer_auth.go`)
+
+```
+1. Detect "Authorization: Bearer <token>" (case-insensitive prefix).
+2. token = TrimSpace(authHeader[7:]); reject empty.
+3. p, err := buildPrincipalFromBearerToken(token).
+   On err → 401 with WWW-Authenticate, log reason at debug.
+4. forwardAuthorized(rw, req, p).
+```
+
+Target: ~40 lines.
+
+### 7.6 Refactor of `processAuthorizedRequest` (modify `middleware.go`)
+
+Splits along the principal boundary:
+- Session-specific part (backchannel-logout invalidation, `IsDirty` / `Save`) stays in `processAuthorizedRequest`.
+- Everything else moves to `forwardAuthorized`.
+- `processAuthorizedRequest` ends with `forwardAuthorized(rw, req, buildPrincipalFromSession(session))`.
+
+### 7.7 `verifyOpts` extension to `verifyToken` (modify `token_manager.go`)
+
+Add a parameter struct:
+```go
+type verifyOpts struct {
+    skipReplayMarking bool // suppress JTI Set (token_manager.go:108-143); blacklist Get stays active
+}
+```
+
+Both the type and field are unexported (internal-only knob). Signature change: `verifyToken(token string)` becomes `verifyToken(token string, opts verifyOpts)`. Existing callers pass `verifyOpts{}` (zero value = current behaviour). Bearer path passes `verifyOpts{skipReplayMarking: true}`.
+
+**Critical semantics — must be reflected in implementation and tests:**
+- `skipReplayMarking` only gates the **Set** at `token_manager.go:108-143` (the call adding the JTI to the blacklist and replay cache).
+- The blacklist **Get** at `token_manager.go:44-47, 80-89` stays unconditionally active on the bearer path. Tokens revoked via `RevokeToken` (which adds the JTI to the blacklist) MUST still be rejected on the bearer path.
+- Must NOT be implemented by mutating `t.disableReplayDetection` (struct field) — that would create a cross-request race that disables replay protection globally.
+
+A targeted regression test exercises: bearer token verified once → admin calls `RevokeToken` adding the JTI to the blacklist → same token replayed → 401.
+
+### 7.8 Config additions (modify `settings.go`)
+
+```go
+EnableBearerAuth              bool   `json:"enableBearerAuth,omitempty"`
+BearerIdentifierClaim         string `json:"bearerIdentifierClaim,omitempty"`

+- `StripAuthorizationHeader`: `true`.
+- `BearerEmitWWWAuthenticate`: `true` (RFC 6750 hint enabled by default; flip to false if recon-exposure is a concern).
+- `BearerOverridesCookie`: `false` (cookie wins when both present; flip to `true` for the legacy/industry-default behaviour).
+- `MaxTokenAgeSeconds`: `86400` (24h upper bound on `iat`).
+- `MaxIdentifierLength`: `256`.
+- `BearerFailureThreshold`: `20` (consecutive 401s per IP before throttle).
+- `BearerFailureWindowSeconds`: `60`.
+- `BearerFailurePenaltySeconds`: `60` (429 reply for this long after threshold tripped).
+
+### 7.9 Startup validation (modify `main.go` `New()`)
+
+- `EnableBearerAuth && Audience == ""` → fatal error.
+- `EnableBearerAuth && !StrictAudienceValidation` → warning log (recommended hardening).
+- `EnableBearerAuth && BearerIdentifierClaim == "email"` → fatal error (the bearer path is M2M and an `email` identifier without `email_verified` enforcement is a spoofing vector; default `BearerIdentifierClaim=sub` avoids this; explicit override to `email` is rejected).
+- `EnableBearerAuth && MaxTokenAgeSeconds <= 0` → reset to default 86400 with info log.
+- `EnableBearerAuth && BearerFailureThreshold <= 0` → reset to default 20 with info log.

+## 9. Error Handling
+
+| Trigger | Status | Body | WWW-Authenticate | Debug log reason |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Empty bearer after prefix | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_request"` | empty bearer token |
+| Token over MaxLength | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | token exceeds max length |
+| Not a 3-segment JWT | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | malformed JWT |
+| Disallowed `alg` (e.g. none, HS*) | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | unsupported alg |
+| Missing/oversized/bad-charset `kid` | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | invalid kid |
+| Signature / issuer / aud / exp fail | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | reason from verifyToken (category only) |
+| `iat` older than MaxTokenAgeSeconds | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | token too old (iat outside age bound) |
+| Multi-aud without matching `azp` | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | multi-aud token without azp match |
+| Detected as ID token | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | ID tokens not accepted on bearer path |
+| JTI blacklisted (revoked) | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | token JTI in blacklist |
+| Introspection `active=false` | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | token inactive at IdP |
+| Introspection endpoint failure | 503 | `Service Unavailable` | (none) | introspection unavailable |
+| Identifier claim missing/empty | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | no identifier claim |
+| Identifier fails sanitisation | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | invalid identifier characters |
+| Per-IP failure threshold tripped | 429 | `Too Many Requests` | (none); `Retry-After: <BearerFailurePenaltySeconds>` | source IP in penalty box |
+| Roles/groups not allowed | 403 | `Access denied` | (none) | user not in allowedRolesAndGroups |
+
+Responses never include token contents, never include the raw failure reason, and never set `Location` headers (API clients cannot follow redirects).
+
+## 10. Edge Cases
+
+1. **Both bearer header and cookie session present.** Cookie wins by default (safer against browser/extension/proxy bearer injection). `BearerOverridesCookie=true` flips to bearer-wins. Either way: WARN log includes both source markers so operators can audit.
+2. **`Authorization: Basic …`.** Not bearer; cookie path runs as today.
+3. **`Authorization: Bearer ` (trailing space, no value).** Empty after trim → 401.
+4. **Mixed-case prefix (`bearer`, `BEARER`, `BeArEr`).** Case-insensitive prefix check; token value preserved verbatim.
+5. **Multiple `Authorization` headers.** Use only the first (Go `http.Header.Get` default). Documented.
+6. **Bearer during OIDC init wait.** Bearer requests also block on init: we need `issuerURL`, `audience`, JWKs ready. If init fails, bearer requests return 503 just like cookie requests.
+7. **SSE / WebSocket bypass with bearer.** Bypass paths keep cookie-only behaviour. Operators who want bearer on streaming endpoints must remove SSE/WS bypass. Documented.
+8. **Logout endpoint with bearer.** Logout runs before bearer detection. Treated as cookie-session logout; bearer token revocation requires IdP-side action.
+9. **Excluded URLs with bearer.** Bypass excluded URLs as today; bearer not validated on excluded paths. ADDITIONALLY: `Authorization: Bearer` is stripped from the request before forwarding so the token can't leak into the excluded endpoint's downstream logs / metrics scrapers / health checks.
+10. **Concurrent identical bearer requests.** Existing `tokenCache` is concurrency-safe; no new locking.
+11. **Client rotates token between requests.** Independent verification per token; independent cache entries.
+12. **Clock skew.** Use existing `jwt.Verify` leeway. (If absent, add ±30s as a separate change; out of scope here.)
+
+## 11. Testing Strategy
+
+### 11.1 Integration tests (new `bearer_auth_test.go`)
+
+Table-driven test against a real `httptest.Server` and the full `ServeHTTP` flow. Coverage matrix:
+
+- Valid access token + allowed roles → 200, `next` ran, `X-Forwarded-User` set.
+- Valid token without configured roles → 200.
+- Wrong audience, expired, tampered signature → 401, `next` did not run.
+- ID token presented → 401 (`ID tokens not accepted`).
+- Malformed JWT (2 segments) → 401.
+- Oversized token (> MaxLength) → 401.
+- Empty bearer → 401.
+- Missing identifier claim → 401.
+- Identifier containing `\r\n` → 401.
+- `allowedRolesAndGroups` mismatch → 403.
+- `allowedRolesAndGroups` match → 200.
+- `EnableBearerAuth=false` + bearer header → cookie path runs (302 to `/authorize`).
+- Bearer + valid cookie session → bearer wins, 200.
+- `StripAuthorizationHeader=true` → downstream sees no `Authorization`.
+- `StripAuthorizationHeader=false` → downstream sees `Authorization`.
+- Case variants (`bearer`, `BEARER`) → 200.
+- SSE bypass + bearer → cookie-only check applies (bearer ignored).
+- **Replay regression**: same token 1000 times in a row → all 200.
+- **Cache-evict regression**: same token, force-evict `tokenCache` between iterations (call `tokenCache.Delete` directly), replay → still 200 (verifies `skipReplayMarking` doesn't poison the blacklist).
+- **Revocation-while-bearer regression**: bearer token verified once → admin calls `RevokeToken` adding JTI to blacklist → same token presented → 401 (verifies blacklist Get stays active on bearer path even with `skipReplayMarking` set).
+- **Alg-pin: token signed with `alg=none`** → 401, no JWKS fetch happens (verify with a counting mock).
+- **`kid` injection: 50KB random kid** → 401 immediately, no JWKS fetch.
+- **Per-IP throttle**: 21 bad bearer requests from same IP within 1 minute → 22nd returns 429 + Retry-After.
+- **`iat` upper-age**: token with `iat = now - 25h` → 401 (older than 24h default).
+- **Multi-aud without azp**: aud = `["a", "b"]`, no azp → 401.
+- **Multi-aud with matching azp**: aud = `["api-aud", "other"]`, azp = clientID → 200.
+- **Identifier with bidi-override**: sub contains U+202E → 401.
+- **Identifier with comma**: sub = `"alice,bob"` → 401.
+- **Identifier over 256 bytes** → 401.
+- **`UserIdentifierClaim=email` at startup with EnableBearerAuth=true** → startup fails.
+- **Excluded URL + bearer**: bearer header presented on excluded URL → request forwarded, downstream sees no `Authorization` header (stripped).
+
+### 11.2 Unit tests (in `bearer_auth_test.go`)
+
+- `classifyToken`: ID-token detection, access-token detection by `scope`/`scp`/`token_use`, ambiguous → reject.
+- `resolveIdentifier`: precedence (`userIdentifierClaim` → `sub` → `client_id`/`azp`); missing → error; empty string → error.
+- `sanitizeIdentifier`: rejects all `unicode.IsControl`; accepts email/sub-style values.
+
+### 11.3 Introspection tests (`bearer_auth_introspection_test.go`)
+
+- Token valid + introspection `active=true` → 200.
+- Token valid + introspection `active=false` → 401.
+- Introspection endpoint 500 → 503.
+- Second request hits introspection cache (no second HTTP call).
+
+### 11.4 Startup validation tests (extend `settings_test.go` / `main_test.go`)
+
+- `EnableBearerAuth=true, Audience=""` → `New()` errors.
+- `EnableBearerAuth=true, StrictAudienceValidation=false` → succeeds with warning.
+- `EnableBearerAuth=false` → no validation; existing tests untouched.
+
+### 11.5 Cookie-path regression suite
+
+- All existing `TestServeHTTP_*` tests in `main_servehttp_test.go` pass unmodified.
+- Add: cookie session, `EnableBearerAuth=true`, no bearer header → identical behaviour to baseline.
+- Add: dirty session still triggers `Save()` after refactor.
+
+### 11.6 Principal invariants
+
+- `buildPrincipalFromSession`: `Source == sourceSession`; `IDToken` / `RefreshToken` populated when present in session.
+- `buildPrincipalFromBearerToken`: `Source == sourceBearer`; `IDToken == ""`, `RefreshToken == ""`.
+- `forwardAuthorized` produces identical headers for equivalent principals regardless of source.
+
+### 11.7 Coverage gate
+
+- New code in `bearer_auth.go` and `principal.go`: ≥ 90% line coverage.
+- `forwardAuthorized` coverage ≥ existing `processAuthorizedRequest` coverage baseline.
+
+### 11.8 Out of scope (follow-ups)
+
+- Load test of bearer vs cookie hot path.
+- Fuzzing the JWT parser.
+- Additional auth methods (mTLS, API keys) — design enables them, but they are separate work.
+
+## 12. Migration / Rollout
+
+Default-off. Existing deployments observe no behavioural change. Operators opt in by setting:
+
+```yaml
+enableBearerAuth: true
+audience: https://api.example.com   # required when bearer enabled
+# optional:
+stripAuthorizationHeader: true       # default
+requireTokenIntrospection: false     # default; set true for real-time revocation
+userIdentifierClaim: client_id       # optional override; defaults to sub fallback chain
+```
+
+Documentation: update `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` with a bearer-auth section, and add a new `docs/BEARER_AUTH.md` covering the security model, threat assumptions (token issuer is trusted; audience must be set; bearer means trust the issuer's revocation policy unless introspection enabled), and recommended configurations for common IdPs.
+
+## 13. Security Considerations
+
+| Concern | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Token confusion (ID token used as bearer) | Reuse `detectTokenType` (`token_manager.go:187-303`) which checks `nonce`, `typ: at+jwt`, `token_use`, `scope`, aud-vs-clientID. Belt-and-braces: explicit `nonce` + `token_use == "id"` rejection on top. |
+| Audience confusion (token for service B accepted by A) | `Audience` mandatory at startup; verified via existing `VerifyJWTSignatureAndClaims`; multi-aud tokens require matching `azp == clientID`. |
+| Replay-via-blacklist false positive | `verifyOpts{skipReplayMarking: true}` on bearer path. Gates ONLY the Set; the Get stays so revoked tokens still fail. |
+| Revocation lag | Optional RFC 7662 introspection. Bearer-path introspection cache TTL capped at 60s. Set `RequireTokenIntrospection=true` for real-time revocation. |
+| `alg`-confusion / `alg=none` attacks | Hard-pin asymmetric allowlist at bearer entry, **before** JWKS fetch. Prevents wasted upstream calls and locks out HS/none probes. |
+| `kid` injection / JWKS amplification | `kid` length cap (256 bytes) + charset allowlist enforced at bearer entry. |
+| Bearer 401 brute-force / oracle | Per-IP `failedBearerAttempts` cache; configurable threshold + penalty box returning 429 + `Retry-After`. |
+| `iat` clock-manipulation / forever-tokens | `MaxTokenAgeSeconds` upper bound (default 24h); cookie path unchanged. |
+| Identifier-driven header injection | `sanitizeIdentifier`: length cap, control-char + bidi-override + `,;=` rejection. `net/http` rejects CRLF on the wire too (defence in depth). |
+| Token leakage downstream | `StripAuthorizationHeader=true` by default. Also: `Authorization` stripped on excluded-URL requests so bearer can't leak into health/metrics downstream logs. |
+| Token-in-logs | All log paths log reason categories, not raw tokens. Identifier hashed via SHA-256 truncated to 8 hex chars before any info/warn-level emission (full identifier only at debug). New `safeLogAuthEvent(category, hashedIdentifier, reasonCode)` helper makes this hard to misuse. |
+| `email` claim spoofing | Startup fails if `EnableBearerAuth && UserIdentifierClaim == "email"`. Future human-user bearer iteration must add `email_verified` enforcement. |
+| Bypass on SSE / WS endpoints | SSE/WS bypass keeps cookie-only behaviour; bearer ignored. Operators choose to widen if needed. |
+| Mixed bearer + cookie precedence | Cookie wins by default (safer for browser scenarios); `BearerOverridesCookie=true` flips. WARN log on both-present requests. |
+| Configuration drift (operator forgets audience) | Startup fails when `EnableBearerAuth=true && Audience==""`. |
+| Downstream blast radius when `StripAuthorizationHeader=false` | Documented: forwarded bearer extends token's blast radius to all downstream services. Logs at those services become token stores. Operators must treat downstream log policy accordingly. |
+| Introspection auth method (pre-existing gap, called out) | `token_introspection.go:80` uses `client_secret_basic` only; does not honour `private_key_jwt`. Out of scope for this PR but documented as a follow-up; operators using `ClientAuthMethod=private_key_jwt` + `RequireTokenIntrospection=true` should be aware introspection will use basic auth. |
+
+## 14. Open Questions
+
+None — all design decisions resolved during brainstorming + security review. Implementation may surface incidental questions (e.g. exact clock-skew leeway in `jwt.Verify`); those are out of scope for this spec and handled in the implementation plan.
+
+## 14a. Security Review Reference
+
+This design was reviewed by the `security-reviewer` subagent on 2026-05-18. Findings incorporated:
+
+- **Critical**: C1 (classifier reuses `detectTokenType`), C2 (sub fallback dropped — unreachable due to `jwt.go:416`), C3 (replay-marking gates only Set, not Get; revocation regression test added).
+- **High**: H1 (alg pinned at bearer entry), H2 (kid length + charset), H3 (cookie wins by default, configurable), H4 (per-IP 401 throttle), H5 (multi-aud requires azp).
+- **Medium**: M1 (identifier max-length + bidi reject + delimiter chars), M2 (introspection cache TTL capped at 60s on bearer path), M4 (log-hashing via SHA-256[:8]), M5 (StripAuth blast-radius documented), M6 (iat upper-age bound), M7 (Authorization stripped on excluded URLs).
+- **Low/Nit**: L2 (renamed to `BearerEmitWWWAuthenticate`), N3 (startup rejects `UserIdentifierClaim=email`).
+- **Documented as pre-existing gaps (follow-up PRs)**: M3 (introspection auth method doesn't honour `private_key_jwt`).
+
+## 15. Implementation Plan Reference
+
+To be produced by the `writing-plans` skill in a follow-up document at `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-18-bearer-token-auth-plan.md`. The plan decomposes this design into ordered, independently-testable PRs.

+// Regression tests for FIX-02 (review-2026-09-10 finding at
+// middleware.go:105): shouldBypassAuth bypassed OIDC auth for ANY request
+// whose method is OPTIONS, not only genuine CORS preflights. A real
+// preflight always carries both an Origin header and an
+// Access-Control-Request-Method header; the R124 fix checked only the
+// method, so an unauthenticated `OPTIONS <protected-path>` with neither
+// header reached the backend unauthenticated (reproduced against
+// http.FileServer: 200 with the protected file's body).
+//
+// TestServeHTTP_ForgedPreflightDoesNotLeakBody hardens the residual gap a
+// follow-up review found in that fix: the Origin +
+// Access-Control-Request-Method check only rules out an accidental bare
+// OPTIONS request, not a deliberate attacker, since any non-browser client
+// can set both headers itself. bypassReasonOptions still forwarded to next
+// with no session check, so a forged preflight against http.FileServer
+// still returned the protected file's body.
+//
+// A later maintainer decision (the AllowUnauthenticatedPreflight config
+// option, settings.go) restored the released default: every OPTIONS request
+// -- genuine preflight or not -- needs auth unless the operator opts in.
+// Every test below that exercises the bypass path (positive or negative)
+// sets allowUnauthenticatedPreflight: true so it keeps testing the
+// Origin+Access-Control-Request-Method gate itself rather than the flag
+// gate placed in front of it. The default-off case is pinned separately by
