Subject: [PATCH] fix(oidc): normalize id_token iss claim before issuer
 comparison (#837)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

jwt.verify does an exact string match on the issuer. Providers like
Authentik include a trailing slash in the id_token iss claim while the
configured issuer is already normalized (no trailing slash), causing
every login attempt to fail with jwt issuer invalid.

Move the issuer check out of jwt.verify options and apply the same
trailing-slash normalization used in the discovery doc validation.
Also adds OIDC-SVC-033–036 unit tests covering exact match, trailing
slash, wrong issuer, and wrong audience cases.

Closes #834
