… worker auth Adds a fallback token validation path for self-hosted NVCT clusters where workers present a projected Kubernetes ServiceAccount Token (PSAT) instead of the Notary-issued assertion JWT. When Notary JWT decoding fails and nvct.worker.delegated-token-enabled=true, WorkerAssertionValidator calls ICMS POST /v1/workers/tokens/introspect (RFC 7662) to verify the PSAT via cluster OIDC. Active results are cached in-process for up to 14 minutes. Changes: - IcmsStubService: add WorkerTokenIntrospectRequest/Result DTOs and introspectWorkerToken exchange method - IcmsClient: delegate introspectWorkerToken to the stub - WorkerTokenIntrospectionService (new): Caffeine cache + introspection wrapper gated on nvct.worker.delegated-token-enabled - WorkerAssertionValidator: inject WorkerTokenIntrospectionService and catch ForbiddenException from Notary JWT validation, falling through to ICMS introspection when enabled - application.yaml: add nvct.worker.delegated-token-enabled: false (overridden to true in self-hosted Helmfile overlay) Relates to #840 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds ICMS worker-token introspection models and client support. It adds cached introspection service logic. Worker assertion validation can accept active delegated tokens when enabled. Delegated-token support is disabled by default. ChangesDelegated worker-token introspection

Same comment as in cloud-functions - we are not using the taskId during validation in this flow.
- Fix property name: nvct.worker.delegated-token-enabled -> nvct.worker.delegate-token.enabled - Fix ICMS introspect URL: /v1/workers/tokens/introspect -> /v1/icms/workers/tokens/introspect - Add RFC 7662 exp field to WorkerTokenIntrospectResult - Cap cache TTL to min(14min, remaining-token-lifetime) via Caffeine per-entry Expiry Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Use ASCII in the Javadoc.
Line 407 contains a non-ASCII section symbol. Replace it with Section 2.2.
As per coding guidelines, "Use only standard ASCII in committed text."

Why
Part of the delegated worker token feature (issue #840). On self-hosted NVCT clusters, task workers receive a projected Kubernetes ServiceAccount Token (PSAT) mounted into their pods. The existing path decodes a Notary-issued assertion JWT, which the PSAT is not. This PR adds a fallback so
WorkerAssertionValidatorcalls ICMS token introspection when Notary decode fails, enabling task workers to authenticate via cluster OIDC.What changed
IcmsStubService: AddedWorkerTokenIntrospectRequest/WorkerTokenIntrospectResultDTOs and theintrospectWorkerTokenHTTP exchange method targetingPOST /v1/workers/tokens/introspect.IcmsClient: Delegating wrapper forintrospectWorkerToken.WorkerTokenIntrospectionService(new): Caffeine-backed cache keyed on SHA-256(token), evicted after 14 minutes. Inactive results are never cached. Gated onnvct.worker.delegated-token-enabled.WorkerAssertionValidator.validate: WrapsvalidateNotaryJwtin try/catch. WhenForbiddenExceptionis thrown and the flag is on, falls through to ICMS introspection.active=true→ authorized.active=false→ re-throw forbidden.application.yaml: Addednvct.worker.delegated-token-enabled: false(default). Self-hosted Helmfile overlay sets it totrue.Customer Release Notes
Not customer visible — self-hosted infrastructure change.
Plan Summary
Not applicable.
Usage
Enable on self-hosted clusters by setting
nvct.worker.delegated-token-enabled: truein the Helmfile values overlay. No changes needed for managed NVCT.Testing
WorkerTokenIntrospectionServiceTest: cache-hit, cache-miss, no-cache-on-inactive, distinct-tokens, token-forwarded-to-ICMS.Notes
NVCT task workers use
WorkerAssertionValidator.validatedirectly (no gRPC issued-token flow). The Notary JWT path remains unchanged when the flag is off.References
