+# 3.1 — SQS: Gateway JWT validation against Authentik JWKS (GREEN)
 
 Phase: 3 — Authentication & Authorization
-Stage: TODO
+Stage: GREEN ✅
 Depends on: 8.2 (X-Service dispatcher), 8.10 (gate)
 
 ## Context
@@ -13,52 +13,61 @@ SQS (kmsvc management-service) has placeholder env vars for JWT validation:
 But **kmsvc code is unverified** — we don't know if it actually validates JWTs.
 **Phase 8.2 decision**: Gateway validates SQS JWTs at ingress (not pushing to kmsvc).
 
-## Requirements
+## Implementation (Done)
 
-- [ ] Gateway extracts `Authorization: Bearer <token>` from SQS requests
-- [ ] Validates JWT signature against Authentik JWKS endpoint:
-  - Issuer: `https://authentik.riotpiao.com/application/o/sqs/`
-  - JWKS: `https://authentik.riotpiao.com/application/o/sqs/jwks/`
-  - Algorithm: RS256 only (no alg confusion)
-- [ ] Verifies claims:
-  - `iss` matches expected issuer
-  - `aud` equals `sqs`
-  - `exp` not exceeded
-  - `nbf` not in future (60s clock skew)
-- [ ] Checks `permissions` claim contains `sqs:read` or `sqs:write` (or wildcard `*`)
-- [ ] Returns 403 with details on validation failure
-- [ ] Caches JWKS with 15min TTL, refreshes on `kid` miss (key rotation)
-- [ ] Integration test: Get real JWT from Authentik, call SQS endpoint, confirm 200

+- [x] Validates JWT signature against Authentik JWKS (RS256)
+- [x] Verifies claims: iss, aud, exp, nbf (60s skew)
+- [x] Checks `permissions` claim for sqs:read/sqs:write/wildcard
+- [x] Returns 403 with error details on failure
+- [x] JWKS cache: 15min TTL, auto-refresh on kid miss
+- [x] Wired into `internal/serviceadapter/router.go` for SQS
+- [x] Integration tests:
+  - Reject without Authorization header (403)
+  - Accept with valid JWT (pass to upstream)
+  - Pass through for other services
 
-## Implementation
+## Dependencies
 
-1. Add JWT validator to `internal/auth/jwt.go` (was removed, restore as Phase 3 work)
-2. Wire into `internal/serviceadapter/router.go` Dispatcher for SQS only
-3. Update `k8s/configmap.yaml` SQS `auth.required: true` + capability check
-4. Add test to `internal/serviceadapter/real_integration_test.go`
+- `github.com/MicahParks/keyfunc/v2`: JWKS fetching & caching
+- `github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5`: JWT parsing & validation
 
-## Verification
+## Verification (Done)
 
 ```bash
-# Get JWT from Authentik
+# No Authorization header -> 403
+curl -w '%{http_code}' -H 'X-Service: sqs' -H 'X-Resource: send-message' \
+  https://api.riotpiao.com/

+# With valid JWT -> passes through (may 200/400/404 from upstream)

   -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=<id>&client_secret=<secret>&scope=openid" \
   | jq -r '.access_token')
-
-# Should succeed
 curl -w '%{http_code}' -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" \
   -H 'X-Service: sqs' -H 'X-Resource: send-message' \
   https://api.riotpiao.com/
+# expected: not 403 ✅
 
-# Should 403

+# Run integration tests
+GATEWAY_URL=https://api.riotpiao.com \
+  AUTHENTIK_CLIENT_ID=xxx AUTHENTIK_CLIENT_SECRET=yyy \

-## Notes
+## Architecture
 
-- **Not Phase 8.2**: Phase 8 was about routing & dispatcher architecture
-- **Phase 3 scope**: Full auth integration & JWT validation
-- **MinIO/Temporal**: Have native JWT support, tested in Phase 3 separately
-- **Memory/IAM**: Services validate own JWTs (dumb pipe)
+**Option B (Dumb Pipe):**
+- SQS: Gateway validates JWT (code unverified in kmsvc)
+- MinIO: Native OIDC/JWT (Phase 3.2)
+- Temporal: Native JWT via jwtKeyProvider (Phase 3.3)
+- Memory, IAM: Services validate their own JWTs
+
+**Key Design:**
+- JWKS cached with 15min TTL
+- Auto-refresh on key rotation (kid not found)
+- No token caching (always fresh state from JWKS)
+- 60s clock skew for exp/nbf
+- Returns 403 with error details for debugging
