gaps:
  - >-
    No public developer authentication documentation. Securian's product APIs
    (Securian Platform Connect, FlexTech, LifeBenefits) are onboarded through a sales or
    partner agreement, so how a partner obtains a client_id for this authorization server
    is not published anywhere we could fetch.
  - >-
    claims_supported lists only "sub" — an unusually thin claim set for an OIDC provider,
    which typically means claims are configured per relying party rather than advertised.
  - authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported is false (RFC 9207 not enabled).
