//! JWT bearer-token authentication (HS256 / RS256 / ES256).
//!
//! [`JwtAuthInterceptor`] verifies the `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` on every
//! request against a [`JwtValidator`]: it checks the signature (using `ring`),
//! then the `exp`/`nbf` times and the expected issuer and audience. Verifying
//! keys come from a static [`Jwks`], a shared HS256 secret, or a remote JWKS
//! endpoint (fetched, cached, and refetched on key rotation).
//!
//! Only the three JOSE algorithms the A2A ecosystem uses in practice are
//! accepted; `alg: none` and any unlisted algorithm are rejected outright, so
//! the classic algorithm-confusion downgrade (an RSA public key coerced into
//! an HMAC key) cannot occur — HS256 is only ever checked against a secret you
//! configured, never against a JWKS public key.
//!
//! # Example — validate RS256 tokens from an OIDC issuer
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use a2a_protocol_server::auth::jwt::{JwtAuthInterceptor, JwtValidator};
//! # async fn e() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let validator = JwtValidator::new()
//!     .with_issuer("https://login.example.com")
//!     .with_audience("my-a2a-agent");
//!
//! // Fetches the issuer's JWKS via OIDC discovery; caches and auto-refreshes.
//! let interceptor = JwtAuthInterceptor::from_oidc_issuer(
//!     "https://login.example.com",
//!     validator,
//! )
//! .await?;
//! # Ok(()) }
//! ```
