Description

In the v1.22 Kube library code, we can directly specify a oidc.KeySet and initialize the JWTAuthenticator with a static (i.e. inline instead of fetched via the network) key set (to support different network typologies).

Research direction

Start in the v1.22 Kube library code and trace how JWTAuthenticator is initialized and how its oidc.KeySet is obtained. The work is done when JWTAuthenticator supports a static, inline key set as well as the existing network-fetched setup, including coverage for the new initialization path.
