The suite used to mint its own RS256 tokens from a stand-in issuer, which
could only ever prove the proxy agreed with the tests: the claims were
whatever the tests chose to sign. Every JWT bug worth catching lives in the
shape of what an identity provider really emits, so the suite now runs
against Keycloak (realm in idp_realm.json), provisions a group and a user per
test through its admin API, and signs in through the direct-access grant.
That changes what the tokens look like: sub is Keycloak's opaque user uuid
rather than a friendly name, groups arrives from a protocol mapper, aud is
the IdP's own audience, and the JWKS carries an encryption key beside the
signing key so the proxy has to select on kid. The expiry case now takes a
one-second token from a second client in the realm and waits for it to lapse
instead of forging a stale exp.
The proxy config the suite needs is unchanged. CI runs it against a Keycloak
deployed beside the ephemeral stack, which lives in the releaser repo.
