Description

Expected Behavior

I expect JwtAuthenticationConverter#convert to receive BearerTokenAuthenticationToken#details in addition to the jwt.

Current Behavior

JwtAuthenticationConverter#convert only receives the jwt.

Context

To authenticate a BearerTokenAuthenticationToken I need to access the BearerTokenAuthenticationToken#details from JwtAuthenticationConverter#jwtPrincipalConverter. This prevents me to use JwtAuthenticationProvider.

Research direction

Start by tracing BearerTokenAuthenticationToken through JwtAuthenticationConverter#convert and its jwtPrincipalConverter, focusing on how the JWT is passed today. Confirm the expected conversion path and add coverage showing that the token details are available alongside the JWT when conversion completes.
