Description

Description

Let's add a timeout check in verifyStateParam to not allow stale states to be verified. Probably a 30 second timeout.

Question: Is this something that the developer should be able to override? Other than just providing their own stateStore implementation?

Research direction

Start by locating verifyStateParam in the @slack/oauth package and tracing how its stateStore supplies state data. Determine how the proposed 30-second timeout should interact with stateStore implementations and whether developers can override it. Done means stale states are rejected and the override behavior is documented and covered by the relevant tests.
