- * Google OAuth ID-token verification tests
- * Regression tests for p8-009: replace deprecated `tokeninfo` endpoint with
- * `google-auth-library` `verifyIdToken` and enforce the `aud` (audience) claim
- * against `env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`.
- *
- * These tests mock `google-auth-library`'s `OAuth2Client.verifyIdToken` so we
- * can simulate the three verification outcomes the real library produces:
- *   - token minted for a different audience → verifyIdToken throws
- *   - tampered / malformed / expired token      → verifyIdToken throws
- *   - valid token with correct audience + email → returns a payload
- *
- * The mocked `verifyIdToken` itself enforces the audience check (just like the
- * real library), so a token carrying the wrong `aud` claim is rejected at the
- * verification layer — before any Nessa DB query runs.
