Go's base64 decoders are lenient in two independent ways, and both JWT verifiers used them raw, so one credential validated under several spellings. The unused low bits of the final quantum are ignored: an HMAC-SHA256 signature is 32 bytes in 43 base64url characters, leaving 2 slack bits and so 4 accepted strings per admin token; an RSA-2048 signature is 256 bytes in 342 characters, leaving 4 slack bits and so 16 per IAM token. Separately, \r and \n are skipped wherever they appear, which Encoding.Strict() does not close -- so Strict alone would not have been a fix. Every string-keyed structure over a credential silently splits under that: a denylist misses the spellings it was not handed, an audit log reads one actor as several, a rate limiter multiplies the budget by the class size. pkg/token holds the one canonical encoding. Decode round-trips rather than enumerating failure modes -- a segment is canonical exactly when it is the encoding of the bytes it decodes to -- and rejects rather than normalizes. token.ID is the hash to key revocation, audit and rate limiting on, so the identity is never the submitted string. Both verifiers now decode every segment through it. JWKS n/e stays lenient on purpose: public key material from the trusted IAM endpoint, where every spelling is the same key. Also in pkg/admin: sign returns raw MAC bytes instead of text, dropping an encode-then-decode round trip in the verify path; the header is now decoded and required to declare HS256, closing alg confusion under future refactor; and a comment referencing a long-deleted hashPassword is gone. Tests: exactly one spelling authenticates on both paths; revocation keyed on token.ID holds across all four; CR/LF, padding, standard alphabet and empty segments rejected. TestValidateToken_TamperedSignature substituted a fixed 'X' that was a no-op whenever the token already ended in one -- a 1-in-64 flake that this bug made a 1-in-16 one -- now derived from the token. LLM.md: admin auth section corrected (bcrypt cost 12, not SHA-256+salt; no ADMIN_* env vars exist; middleware strips those headers rather than setting them; package is not mounted).
