      description: 'OAuth 2.0 authentication with fine-grained scopes.

        Supports authorization_code (with PKCE) and client_credentials flows.

        OAuth tokens are Bearer JWTs — use the same Authorization header as regular tokens.

        For **client_credentials**, machine JWTs may use `userId === client_id`; the Node gateway resolves the OAuth app creator — see **OAuth Provider** tag.
