note: 'Accredify runs TWO different auth models and a client must pick the right one per API family. Nexus
  (nexus.accredify.io) uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials against POST /oauth/token with an application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  body (grant_type=client_credentials, client_id, client_secret, and a space-separated scope string),
  returning a Bearer token with expires_in 31536000 — one year. The Dashboard (dashboard.accredify.io)
  uses an OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow (GET /v1/oauth/redirect, POST /v1/oauth/grant, POST /v1/oauth/refresh)
  yielding an unscoped bearer JWT. Nexus additionally mints long-lived per-user API tokens whose plaintext
  secret is returned exactly once and which are auto-revoked when the subject user is locked. A third,
  separate authorization surface exists for credential issuance: the OID4VCI authorization server at https://nexus.accredify.io/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server,
  which advertises the pre-authorized_code grant with anonymous access and S256 PKCE — that is the wallet
  flow, not the API flow.'
