  • Write production and sample code, reference implementations, test harnesses, technical guidance, integration checklists, evaluations, and debugging tools.
  • Debug identity and agent workflows across user interface state, redirects, PKCE/OIDC transactions, token exchange, account mapping, callbacks, latency, retries, rate limits, logs, traces, and metrics.
  • Review partner architectures for API contracts, permissions, consent, terms acceptance, secret handling, privacy, reliability, data boundaries, and maintainability.
