Add integration tests for AuthAssertExecutor assurance guards

[sahandilshan]

Purpose

AuthAssertExecutor runs in around thirty integration suites, so the executor itself is
well exercised, but three of its guard branches had no integration coverage at all:

• the max_age assurance check
• the intersection of consented permissions with authorized permissions
• the App Native branch that inlines user attributes instead of caching them

The flow callback dispatcher (POST /oauth2/auth/callback) was in a similar position: its
success path is exercised by every authorization code suite, but only one test covered a
failure, and only for server_error.

This PR adds 16 integration tests covering those gaps.

Approach

max_age (tests/integration/oauth/sso/max_age_test.go). The assurance check only has an
authentication timestamp to compare against when an SSO checkpoint was loaded, so max_age
can only bite on the SSO reuse path. Each test establishes its own session with its own
cookie jar so its authentication time is unambiguous regardless of test order. The suite
helper gained an authorizeWithMaxAge variant; the existing authorize delegates to it, so
no caller changed.

The expired case asserts the flow level outcome only: flowStatus: ERROR with code
FET-1082, and no assertion minted. Mapping that failure onto an OAuth2 authorize error is
an open TODO(sso) in the product, so the downstream error code is deliberately not pinned.
Note that FET-1082 arrives as HTTP 200 with flowStatus: ERROR, not as a 4xx, so these
tests use the suite's flowExecute helper rather than ExecuteAuthenticationFlowExpectingError,
which handles the separate engine failure channel.

Consented permissions (tests/integration/flow/authentication/consent_permissions_test.go).
ConsentExecutor appeared in no integration flow anywhere in the repository, so the flow
definition is derived from the executor source: a ConsentExecutor task node with
onIncomplete pointing at a prompt node whose actions carry a CONSENT_INPUT. The prompt
payload arrives in additionalData.consentPrompt and decisions are echoed back as
consent_decisions.

The stale consent case is deliberately constructed so that neither input set alone produces
the expected claim: consented is {read, write}, authorized is {read, delete}, and the
claim must be exactly read. Only the intersection yields that, so the test cannot pass by
accident if the intersection were dropped.

Each scenario uses its own user, because consent resolution skips elements that already hold
active consent and a shared user would silently move later tests onto a different branch.

Attribute release (tests/integration/flow/authentication/attribute_release_test.go).
The same application and flow are driven both app natively and through the authorize
endpoint, so the initiation path is the only variable. Both directions are asserted: the app
native assertion inlines the attributes and carries no aci, and the OAuth initiated
assertion carries aci and inlines nothing.

Callback negatives (tests/integration/oauth/authz/callback_negative_test.go). Covers a
missing authId, a missing assertion, a malformed body, an unsupported callback type, an
assertion signed by an untrusted key, and a replayed authId. The untrusted assertion test
uses a genuine, freshly issued authId, so signature verification is the only thing that can
reject it.

Known limitation

The fourth consent case, consent without an authorization step, cannot assert a non empty
verbatim consented set. A permissions consent purpose is only ever built from
authorized_permissions, and no API persists one, so that branch always resolves to an
empty string and is black box indistinguishable from the branch below it. The test pins what
it can genuinely prove, that consent ran and consented attributes were released, and
documents the limitation in its doc comment.

Deliberately out of scope

Two scenarios from the original scope are excluded because they would encode confirmed buggy
behaviour:

• acr_values step up, blocked by SSO session reuse silently ignores a new acr_values request, downgrading step-up authentication #4910
• max_age through PAR, blocked by max_age is silently dropped when an authorization request is pushed via PAR #4912

Permission claim scenarios tests/integration/flow/authentication/consent_permissions_test.go	Tests cover consent subsets, authorization intersections, denied permissions, and consent without authorization.

OAuth callback rejection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Callback test setup and request helpers tests/integration/oauth/authz/callback_negative_test.go	The suite provisions OAuth resources and adds helpers for authorization requests, JWT creation, callback submission, redirect parsing, and application setup.
Callback rejection cases tests/integration/oauth/authz/callback_negative_test.go	Tests reject missing fields, malformed JSON, unsupported types, foreign-signed assertions, and replayed authorization IDs.

OIDC max_age behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
max_age authorization coverage tests/integration/oauth/sso/max_age_test.go, tests/integration/oauth/sso/suite_test.go	The SSO suite adds a dedicated user, supports optional max_age, and tests valid, expired, malformed, and negative values.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 55664

This PR adds integration coverage without changing production behavior, but the max_age expiry test uses a fixed real-time delay that may occasionally flake in CI; it is mergeable with explicit owner awareness of that bounded test-stability risk.
