…er auth Adds a fallback token validation path for self-hosted NVCF clusters where workers present a projected Kubernetes ServiceAccount Token (PSAT) instead of the legacy bootstrap worker token. When the NVCF-issued token decrypt fails and nvcf.worker.delegated-token-enabled=true, the gRPC worker service calls ICMS POST /v1/workers/tokens/introspect (RFC 7662) to verify the PSAT via cluster OIDC. Active results are cached in-process for up to 14 minutes to avoid repeated ICMS calls per worker connection. Changes: - IcmsStubService: add WorkerTokenIntrospectRequest/Result DTOs and introspectWorkerToken exchange method - IcmsClient: delegate introspectWorkerToken to the stub - WorkerTokenIntrospectionService (new): Caffeine cache + introspection wrapper gated on nvcf.worker.delegated-token-enabled - GrpcWorkerService: catch ForbiddenException from legacy validation and fall through to ICMS introspection when enabled - application.yaml: add nvcf.worker.delegated-token-enabled: false (overridden to true in self-hosted Helmfile overlay) Relates to #840 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔴 Critical · up to The delegated worker authentication path can currently authorize a requested function without proving that the delegated token is bound to that exact function, and cached authorizations may outlive token expiry. This creates a material authorization risk, so the PR is not merge-ready until function binding and expiration-aware caching are fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Bind the delegated token to the requested function identity.
active=true only confirms that ICMS accepted the delegated token. This code ignores the returned worker identity and creates NvcfIssuedToken from functionId and functionVersionId supplied by the caller.
An active token for one worker can request another active function ID and receive a legacy worker token for that function. Extend the ICMS result with the authorized function IDs. Require an exact match before creating the synthetic token. Add a test that rejects a token when it requests a different function or version.

Return a verified token expiration in the introspection result.
WorkerTokenIntrospectionService starts its 14-minute cache lifetime when it receives this result. A token that is active shortly before expiry can remain authorized from the cache after expiry. GrpcWorkerService can then issue a new legacy worker token from that cached result.
Add a verified expiration value to this contract. Limit cache retention to the earlier of 14 minutes and the remaining token lifetime. Add a test for an active token with less than 14 minutes remaining.

Why
Part of the delegated worker token feature (issue #840). On self-hosted NVCF clusters, workers receive a projected Kubernetes ServiceAccount Token (PSAT) mounted into their pods. The legacy token validation path decrypts an NVCF-issued JWE, which the PSAT is not. This PR adds a fallback so the gRPC worker service calls ICMS token introspection when the decrypt fails, enabling workers to authenticate via cluster OIDC instead of the static bootstrap token.
What changed
IcmsStubService: AddedWorkerTokenIntrospectRequest/WorkerTokenIntrospectResultDTOs and theintrospectWorkerTokenHTTP exchange method targetingPOST /v1/workers/tokens/introspect.IcmsClient: Delegating wrapper forintrospectWorkerToken.WorkerTokenIntrospectionService(new): Caffeine-backed cache keyed on SHA-256(token), evicted after 14 minutes. Inactive results are never cached so clock-skew andnbfedge cases are retried. Gated onnvcf.worker.delegated-token-enabled.GrpcWorkerService.validateWorkerToken: When legacy decrypt throwsForbiddenExceptionand the delegated-token flag is on, falls through to ICMS introspection.active=true→ synthesize aNvcfIssuedTokenwith the claimed function IDs (independently verified by the function lookup inconnectOnce).active=false→ re-throw forbidden.application.yaml: Addednvcf.worker.delegated-token-enabled: false(default). Self-hosted Helmfile overlay sets it totrue.Customer Release Notes
Not customer visible — self-hosted infrastructure change.

Usage
Enable on self-hosted clusters by setting

Only
