Description

We should consider adding dependency convergence detection to our build to prevent issues like gh-13843. For example, the following dependencies must agree on the version of com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt.

  • spring-security-oauth2-client -> com.nimbusds:oauth2-oidc-sdk -> com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt
  • spring-security-oauth2-jose -> com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt

Research direction

Start by reading the related issue gh-13843 and its linked comment to understand the dependency-version failure described here. Then inspect the repository's build configuration and determine how convergence checks could cover the listed Nimbus dependencies; done means the build detects incompatible versions before they cause this class of issue.
