Description
We landed support for having the Rust code directly verify the access token JWT, and directly generate the HAWK tokens for syncstorage.
We landed it so it only works if the old python implementation is feature flagged off.
This ticket tracks enabling the feature flag in production for tokenserver so that the Rust code is enabled.

Research direction
Start by locating the production tokenserver feature-flag configuration and the Rust paths for access-token JWT verification and HAWK token generation. Confirm how the existing flag disables the Rust implementation, then verify that enabling it in production activates both behaviors safely.
