When the identitytype JWT claim is absent (selfhosted with non-Okta
IdPs), the platform sends ExternalIdentity{subject} instead of
user_id or application_id. Update the identity resolution docs to
document all three proto types and clarify that identitytype is not
required for External authorization.
Update reference implementation to extract subject from whichever
proto type arrives, handle missing tokens from background workers.

Add explicit table of required JWT claims (sub, identitytype, preferred_username) with warning that sub must be present in all tokens including client credentials. This documents the current behavior up to helm-charts 2026.4.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
