/**
* Test: JWT Auth Flow (External IdP Simulation)
*
* Uses a local JWT provider (RS256 key pair + JWKS server) to test
* the full MCP JWT authentication path end-to-end:
*
* MCP Client → Bearer JWT (RS256, signed by local provider)
* → MCP Auth Middleware (auth: 'jwt')
* → auth.service.verifyJWT() → jose.jwtVerify()
* → JWKS fetch from local provider
* → email claim → Strapi admin user lookup
* → _mcpClaims { role, tenant, permissions }
* → authorization.service.authorize()
*
* Tests:
* 1. Valid JWT with Admin role → full access
* 2. Valid JWT with Author role → restricted access + ownership
* 3. Valid JWT with Reader role → read-only
* 4. JWT role claim overrides Strapi admin role derivation
* 5. Tenant claim injection for multi-tenant scoping
* 6. Expired JWT → rejected
* 7. Wrong issuer → rejected
* 8. Wrong audience → rejected
* 9. Missing email claim → rejected
* 10. JWT for non-existent Strapi user → 403
* 11. MCP_SECRET_KEY header validation
*
* ⚠️ IMPORTANT: This test requires Strapi to be configured with auth: 'jwt'
* and the JWT_* environment variables pointing to our local provider.
* The test will output instructions if the plugin is not in JWT mode.
*
* Prerequisites:
* - Running Strapi 5.x with MCP plugin in JWT auth mode
* - STRAPI_ADMIN_EMAIL / STRAPI_ADMIN_PASSWORD env vars (for user setup)
* - Plugin config: auth: 'jwt'
* - Environment:
* JWT_JWKS_URI=http://localhost:9876/.well-known/jwks.json
* JWT_ISSUER=http://localhost:9876
* JWT_AUDIENCE=mcp-test
