Research direction

Start with jwk.go at lines 107-109 and inspect the surrounding key-processing code. Check whether the reported reassignment affects the references stored in keyMap, then look for existing tests covering JWK key mapping. Done means the reported analyzer finding is addressed or confirmed as intentional, with relevant tests passing.
