1//! JWKS fetching and key cache.
2//!
3//! Keys are fetched from the configured JWKS URI and cached by `kid`. An unknown
4//! `kid` triggers a refresh (throttled), which is how key rotation is picked up.
5//! The cached set also ages out: a lookup after [`JwksCache::with_max_age`]
6//! refetches it, so a key the provider has removed stops verifying tokens even
7//! when no request ever names an unknown `kid`.
