Dragan Spiridonov 0547fd7344 fix(auth): enforce client_id as the audience — Cognitum's stand-in for aud
Found by reading cognitum-one/freetokens, a live sibling service whose browser
OAuth landed while this PR was open. Its integration contract states the
platform rule outright:

  "Cognitum access tokens intentionally use custom `client_id` rather than a
   registered JWT `aud` claim."  -- freetokens docs/AUTH_INTEGRATION.md

and `src/auth/oauth.ts` enforces it on every sign-in:

  payload.client_id !== config.OAUTH_CLIENT_ID  -> reject

RuView did not. An earlier revision here removed the `client_id` check and kept
it only for logging, reasoning that clients borrow one another's registrations
(musica shipped as `meta-proxy` while its own was pending) and that scope alone
must therefore carry the boundary. That reasoned from a TRANSITIONAL state:
RuView has its own registered client (identity migration 0017), and the platform
does have an audience mechanism — it is simply spelled `client_id`.

Consequence of the old behaviour: a Cognitum access token minted for ANY product
— meta-proxy, musica, metaharness, freetokens — was accepted by a RuView server
provided it carried a sensing scope. Scope was the only thing standing between
another product's token and this one. Now there are two boundaries, audience and
capability, which is what the platform intends.

- `VerifierConfig.allowed_client_ids`; empty = accept any (explicit opt-out).
- `RUVIEW_OAUTH_CLIENT_IDS` env, default `ruview`, `*` to disable with a loud
  warning naming what is being given up. Comma-separated for the migration case
  where a borrowed registration must be accepted alongside our own.
- New `VerifyError::WrongAudience`, checked BEFORE scope, so the failure names
  the real reason rather than blaming the scope.

The existing cross-product test now asserts `WrongAudience` rather than
`MissingScope` — the token is refused for the stronger reason. Three new tests:
a correctly-scoped token from another product is still refused; the empty-list
opt-out accepts anything (pinned so it stays deliberate); multiple allowed
clients work.

This also corrects the module docs and ADR-271, which claimed "scope is the ONLY
capability boundary" — true of the code as written, but not of the platform.

Tests: 85 ruview-auth, 533 sensing-server.

//! Cognitum OAuth access-token verification (ADR-271).
//!
//! The accept-rule is ported from `meta-llm/src/auth/oauthBearer.ts` (ADR-045),
//! the only other resource-server-side verifier of these tokens in the org.
//! Divergence from it would be a bug, not a preference — a token meta-llm
//! rejects must not be one RuView accepts.
//!
//! ## The trust chain, narrowly
//!
//! 1. Only identity's ES256 key — fetched from the published JWKS by `kid` —
//! can sign an accepted token. No shared secret, no static PEM to leak.
//! 2. **The algorithm is fixed to ES256 by this code.** The token header's `alg`
//! is only ever *compared against* that allowlist, never used to *select* an
//! algorithm. That is what makes `alg: none` and RSA-substitution
//! non-starters rather than things we defend against case by case.
//! 3. Signature math is `jsonwebtoken`'s. This module owns claim policy only.
//!
//! ## Why `setup` and `workload` tokens are refused outright
//!
//! Identity also issues long-lived *setup* (365-day) and *workload* credentials.
//! Their revocation lives in identity's `oauth_setup_tokens` table, and RuView —
//! like meta-llm — has **no database and no way to check it**. A 15-minute
//! access token needs no revocation round-trip because it expires faster than
//! any realistic revocation propagates; a 365-day one does. Accepting one would
//! mean honouring a credential that may already have been revoked, so we don't.
//!
//! ## There is no `aud` claim, and no `iss` claim either
//!
//! Verified against real production tokens: the claim set is exactly
//! `typ, sub, account_id, org_id, workspace_id, client_id, scope, family_id,
//! jti, iat, exp, setup, workload`. No audience. No issuer.
//!
//! **What binds a token to its issuer, then?** The JWKS. We accept only
//! signatures made by a key served from the configured `jwks_uri`, so
//! possession of a valid signature *is* proof of issuer. Adding an `iss` claim
//! check on top would not strengthen that — and requiring a claim identity does
//! not emit rejects every genuine token, which is exactly what an earlier
//! revision of this module did.
//!
//! **`client_id` is Cognitum's stand-in for `aud`.** `cognitum-one/freetokens`
//! (live) documents the contract — *"Cognitum access tokens intentionally use
//! custom `client_id` rather than a registered JWT `aud` claim"* — and rejects
//! any token whose `client_id` is not its own. This verifier does the same via
//! [`VerifierConfig::allowed_client_ids`].
//!
//! An earlier revision treated `client_id` as unusable because clients borrow
//! each other's registrations (musica shipped as `meta-proxy` while its own was
//! pending) and relied on scope alone. That was reasoning from a transitional
//! state: RuView has its own registered client, and accepting a token minted for
//! any Cognitum product is a weaker position than the platform intends.
//!
//! So there are now TWO boundaries, not one: audience (`client_id`) and
//! capability (`scope`). Neither is optional garnish.
