Description

JJWT is now at 0.12.5 (up from 0.11.5, which we upgraded to during bearer token enhancements). It does offer some new features which could cut down on our custom code, but has a moderately different API and so upgrading is a bit of a project to figure out the new methods/procedures for doing what we need to do, esp regarding signatures and signature algorithms. Should probably do this at some point (it may be beyond 0.12.5 by then), but not an emergency.

Research direction

Start by locating the JJWT dependency declaration and the current bearer-token signing and signature-algorithm code. Compare those usages with the JJWT 0.12.5 API, then verify that the OAuth2 server still builds and preserves its existing token-signing behavior after the dependency upgrade.
