Description

As of #84, we transitioned to using jose for JWT generation/sign. Due to key conversions for Ed25519 support, we did decide to use createPrivateKey from node's native crypto module. Would love to investigate on a browser-friendly alternative in the long term. Web crypto api or otherwise.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #84 and the current jose and Node.js crypto usage for Ed25519 key conversion. Investigate whether the Web Crypto API or another browser-compatible option can support the same flow. Done means identifying and documenting a viable alternative, including its browser and Node.js compatibility.
