fix: Complete Keycloak external IdP integration with all tests passing

This commit completes the Keycloak external IdP integration for the MCP server, implementing ADR-002 Tier 2 (External Identity Provider) with full Bearer token authentication support. Key Changes: 1. **Keycloak backchannel-dynamic configuration** - Added --hostname-strict=false and --hostname-backchannel-dynamic=true - Allows external issuer (localhost:8888) with internal endpoints (keycloak:8080) - Solves Docker networking issue where containers can't reach localhost 2. **CORSMiddleware Bearer token patch** - Created app-hooks/patches/cors-bearer-token.patch from upstream commit 8fb5e77db82 - Allows Bearer tokens to bypass CORS/CSRF checks (stateless authentication) - Applied via post-installation hook 20-apply-cors-bearer-token-patch.sh - Enables app-specific APIs (Notes, Calendar, etc.) to work with Bearer tokens 3. **Patch organization** - Moved patches to app-hooks/patches/ directory - Updated docker-compose.yml to mount entire app-hooks directory - Consolidated patch management for better maintainability 4. **Test improvements** - All 11 Keycloak integration tests passing - Tests validate OAuth token acquisition, MCP connectivity, token validation, tool execution, token persistence, user provisioning, scope filtering, and error handling Architecture: - Keycloak acts as external OAuth/OIDC identity provider - MCP server uses Keycloak tokens to access Nextcloud APIs - Nextcloud user_oidc app validates Bearer tokens from Keycloak - No admin credentials needed - all API access uses user's OAuth tokens Cache Note: - Discovery and JWKS caches must be cleared when switching Keycloak configurations - Use: docker compose exec redis redis-cli DEL "<cache-key>" - Or: docker compose exec app php occ user_oidc:provider keycloak --clientid nextcloud Related: - ADR-002: Vector sync background jobs authentication - Validates external IdP integration pattern - Demonstrates offline_access with refresh tokens (Tier 1 & 2) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
