fix: harden widget SSO JWT token verification - #77
Conversation
Tighten the identity-token contract in response to upstream-sso-changes: - sub is now the user id claim, with userId accepted as a fallback while customers migrate; a token carrying both with different values is rejected. userId fallback removal is announced for after 2026-12-31. - exp is now required: tokens without it are rejected after jose verifies the signature. iat more than 30s in the future is rejected too. Both checks keep a 30s clock-skew leeway. - Total token lifetime (exp - iat, or exp - now without iat) is capped at 24h by default, overridable per workspace via the new organization.jwt_max_token_lifetime_minutes column, so a leaked long-lived token ages out. Wired through both the SSO program and the widget feedback path. - Custom attribute values are constrained to JSON scalars: arrays and nested objects are ignored instead of persisted or failing the token. - iss stays unverified but is now documented as recommended (app URL) with a stated path to enforcement, instead of silently ignored. - docs/widget-sso.md updated to match the enforced contract.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new per-workspace token-lifetime setting can currently allow tokens lasting longer than the intended 24-hour maximum, weakening the SSO hardening in both authentication paths; the revocation guidance is also contradictory.

Resolve the revocation behavior conflict.
Line 79 says tokens stop verifying immediately. It also says the grace period still applies. Tokens cannot both stop verifying and remain accepted during the grace period.
If the grace period applies, state that tokens signed with the revoked secret continue to verify for 24 hours.

Enforce a positive cap that cannot exceed 24 hours.
The migration accepts any integer. Both authentication paths convert every non-null value into a duration. A stored value such as 43200 permits 30-day tokens and disables the documented tightening-only policy.

| packages/domain/src/jwt-secret/verification.ts | Implements mandatory expiration, future-issued-token rejection, and a correctly bounded 24-hour lifetime policy. |
| packages/domain/src/contact/utils.ts | Resolves preferred and legacy identity claims and prevents required non-scalar attributes from being silently omitted. |
| packages/domain/src/widget/sso.ts | Applies the normalized workspace lifetime cap before creating a restricted SSO session. |
| packages/domain/src/widget/api-live.ts | Applies the same JWT lifetime policy before persisting token-attributed widget feedback. |
| packages/db/src/schema/auth.ts | Adds the nullable organization-level JWT lifetime override represented by the accompanying migration. |

…tributes - Clamp jwt_max_token_lifetime_minutes to a positive integer within the 24h default via shared maxTokenLifetimeFromMinutes helper; invalid or oversized stored values (no DB constraint) fall back to the default in both SSO and feedback authentication instead of loosening the cap. - Fail widget token parsing when a required contact/company attribute carries a non-scalar value; previously the key-presence check passed and the value was silently dropped, creating records without workspace-required data.
