feat: Implement dual-tier token exchange (Standard V2 + Legacy V1 impersonation)

This commit implements and documents both RFC 8693 token exchange tiers
from ADR-002, enabling both production-ready delegation and advanced
impersonation capabilities.

- Enable Keycloak preview features (`--features=preview`) to support
  both Standard V2 and Legacy V1 token exchange modes

- Update Tier 1 status from "NOT IMPLEMENTED" to "IMPLEMENTED (Legacy V1)"
- Add detailed empirical testing results showing:
  - Standard V2 rejects `requested_subject` parameter
  - Legacy V1 accepts parameter but requires impersonation permissions
  - Complete configuration steps for enabling impersonation
- Add comparison table showing when to use each tier
- Add "When to Use" guidance for both tiers
- Document that Tier 2 (Delegation) is the recommended default

- Update docstring to document both Tier 1 and Tier 2 support
- Add tier-specific logging (shows which tier is being used)
- Document permission requirements for Tier 1 impersonation

**tests/integration/auth/test_token_exchange_standard_v2.py**:
- Test delegation without impersonation (Tier 2)
- Verify sub claim remains unchanged (service account identity)
- Verify no special permissions required
- Test exchanged tokens work with Nextcloud APIs
- All tests PASS 

**tests/integration/auth/test_token_exchange_legacy_v1.py**:
- Test impersonation with `requested_subject` (Tier 1)
- Verify sub claim changes to target user
- Auto-skip if impersonation permissions not configured
- Document permission requirements in test docstrings
- Test exchanged tokens work with Nextcloud APIs

**tests/manual/test_impersonation.py**:
- Comprehensive impersonation validation script
- Tests both Standard V2 and Legacy V1 behavior
- Decodes JWT tokens to verify sub claim changes
- Validates tokens against Nextcloud APIs

**tests/manual/configure_impersonation.py**:
- Automated permission configuration helper
- Documents manual Keycloak CLI configuration steps

Both token exchange tiers are now fully implemented and tested:

- **Tier 2 (Delegation)** -  RECOMMENDED
  - Standard V2 (production-ready)
  - No special permissions required
  - Service account identity preserved

- **Tier 1 (Impersonation)** -  Advanced use only
  - Legacy V1 (--features=preview required)
  - Requires manual permission grant via Keycloak CLI
  - Subject claim changes to target user

## Implementation Details
### 1. Token Exchange with Impersonation (Tier 1) ⚠️ NOT IMPLEMENTED
### 1. Token Exchange with Impersonation (Tier 1) IMPLEMENTED (Legacy V1 only)
This tier is documented for completeness but is not currently implemented due to lack of provider support.
**Status**: Implemented and working with Keycloak Legacy V1 (`--features=preview`). Requires additional permission configuration. Recommended for advanced use cases only.
#### 1.1 Impersonation Flow (Conceptual)
**When to Use**: When you need the exchanged token to have the exact same identity as the target user (sub claim changes). This provides the cleanest separation but requires preview features.
#### 1.1 Impersonation Flow
```python
async def exchange_for_impersonated_user_token(
service_token: str,
async def exchange_token_for_user(
subject_token: str,
target_user_id: str,
scopes: list[str]
) -> str:
"""Exchange service token to impersonate specific user (NOT IMPLEMENTED)"""
audience: str | None = None,
scopes: list[str] | None = None,
) -> dict:
"""Exchange service token to impersonate specific user.

"subject_token": service_token,

}

response = await self._http_client.post(
self.token_endpoint,
data=data,
auth=(self.client_id, self.client_secret),
)
response.raise_for_status()
return response.json()
```
**Why Not Implemented**:
- Keycloak Standard V2 doesn't support `requested_subject` parameter
- Requires Legacy Keycloak V1 with preview features (not production-ready)
- Very few OIDC providers support user impersonation via token exchange
**Implementation Requirements**:
- Keycloak Legacy V1 with `--features=preview` flag
- ✅ Impersonation role granted to service account (see configuration below)
- ❌ NOT supported in Keycloak Standard V2 (rejects `requested_subject` parameter)
- ⚠️ Very few OIDC providers support user impersonation via token exchange
**See**: `docs/oauth-impersonation-findings.md` for detailed investigation
**Empirical Testing (2025-11-02)**:
### 2. Token Exchange with Delegation (Tier 2) ✅ IMPLEMENTED
Tested impersonation with `requested_subject` parameter against Keycloak 26.4.2:
**Test Command**: `uv run python tests/manual/test_impersonation.py`
**Keycloak Standard V2 Result**:
```
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
{
"error": "invalid_request",
"error_description": "Parameter 'requested_subject' is not supported for standard token exchange"
}
```
**Confirmation**: Keycloak explicitly rejects `requested_subject` in Standard V2, confirming this feature is unsupported. The error message is unambiguous - this parameter is not available in the current production token exchange implementation.
**Keycloak Legacy V1 Result - Initial Test** (with `--features=preview`):
```
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
{
"error": "access_denied",
"error_description": "Client not allowed to exchange"
}
Keycloak logs:
reason="subject not allowed to impersonate"
impersonator="service-account-nextcloud-mcp-server"
requested_subject="admin"
```
**Analysis**: Legacy V1 **accepts** the `requested_subject` parameter (error changed from "not supported" to "not allowed"), indicating the feature is present but requires permission configuration.
**Configuration Steps to Enable Impersonation**:
1. **Enable Keycloak preview features** (in docker-compose.yml):
```yaml
command:
- "start-dev"
- "--features=preview" # Required for Legacy V1 token exchange
```
2. **Grant impersonation role to service account** (using Keycloak CLI):
```bash
docker compose exec keycloak /opt/keycloak/bin/kcadm.sh config credentials \
--server http://localhost:8080 \
--realm master \
--user admin \
--password admin
docker compose exec keycloak /opt/keycloak/bin/kcadm.sh add-roles \
-r nextcloud-mcp \
--uusername service-account-nextcloud-mcp-server \
--cclientid realm-management \
--rolename impersonation
```
**Keycloak Legacy V1 Result - After Permission Grant**:
```
✅ Token exchange with impersonation SUCCEEDED!
📊 Response details:
Issued token type: urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token
Token type: Bearer
Expires in: 300s
📋 Token claims analysis:
Subject (sub): 47c3ba5a-9104-45e0-b84e-0e39ab942c9c (admin user)
Preferred username: admin
Client ID (azp): nextcloud-mcp-server
✅ IMPERSONATION VERIFIED:
Original sub: service-account-nextcloud-mcp-server
New sub: 47c3ba5a-9104-45e0-b84e-0e39ab942c9c
➡️ The subject claim CHANGED - impersonation worked!
```
**Nextcloud API Validation**:
The impersonated token successfully authenticated with Nextcloud APIs, confirming the token is valid and properly represents the target user.
**Implementation Status**: Impersonation **IS IMPLEMENTED** and working with Keycloak Legacy V1. The implementation has been tested and verified to work correctly when properly configured.
**Production Considerations**:
- ⚠️ Requires preview features (`--features=preview`) - not production-ready
- ⚠️ Requires Legacy V1 token exchange (may be deprecated in future Keycloak versions)
- ⚠️ Requires manual CLI configuration for each service account
- ⚠️ More complex permission model compared to delegation
**When to Use Tier 1 (Impersonation)**:
- ✅ You need the exchanged token to have the exact same identity as the target user
- ✅ You want the cleanest separation (sub claim changes completely)
- ✅ Your environment can support preview features
- ✅ You have operational processes to manage impersonation permissions
**Recommendation**: For most use cases, use Tier 2 (Delegation) instead. It provides equivalent "act on-behalf-of" capability using production-ready Standard V2 token exchange. Use Tier 1 only when you specifically need identity impersonation.
**Test Scripts**:
- `tests/manual/test_impersonation.py` - Complete impersonation test with validation
- `tests/manual/configure_impersonation.py` - Automated permission configuration helper
- **See**: `docs/oauth-impersonation-findings.md` for detailed investigation
### 2. Token Exchange with Delegation (Tier 2) ✅ IMPLEMENTED (Standard V2)
**Status**: Implemented and working with Keycloak Standard V2 (production-ready). This is the **recommended** approach for most use cases.
**When to Use**: When you need "act on-behalf-of" functionality with production-ready features. The service account maintains its identity (sub claim unchanged) but acts on behalf of the user. Fully supported in Keycloak Standard V2 without preview features.

**Note**: Full delegation with `act` claim requires provider support that is currently very rare. Keycloak tracking: [Issue #38279](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/38279)
### 3. Comparison: When to Use Each Tier
| Feature | Tier 1: Impersonation | Tier 2: Delegation (Recommended) |
|---------|----------------------|-----------------------------------|
| **Status** | ✅ Implemented (Legacy V1) | ✅ Implemented (Standard V2) |
| **Token Identity** | Target user (`sub` changes) | Service account (`sub` unchanged) |
| **Keycloak Version** | Legacy V1 (`--features=preview`) | Standard V2 (production-ready) |
| **Setup Complexity** | High (manual permissions) | Low (automatic) |
| **Production Ready** | ⚠️ Preview features required | ✅ Fully production-ready |
| **Permission Grant** | Manual CLI per service account | Automatic via token exchange |
| **Audit Trail** | Shows as target user | Shows as service account acting for user |
| **Token Claims** | `sub: user-id` | `sub: service-account-id` |
| **Provider Support** | Rare (Keycloak Legacy V1 only) | Common (Keycloak, Auth0, Okta) |
| **Use Case** | Need exact user identity | Standard OAuth workflows |
| **Recommendation** | Advanced use only | **Default choice** |
**Decision Guide**:
- ✅ **Use Tier 2 (Delegation)** for:
- Production deployments
- Standard OAuth workflows
- Clear audit trails (service account visible)
- Maximum provider compatibility
- ⚠️ **Use Tier 1 (Impersonation)** only if:
- You specifically need exact user identity (sub claim must match)
- You can accept preview/experimental features
- You have operational processes for permission management
- Your IdP supports `requested_subject` parameter
