// JWS signature verification with the Node stdlib — no `jose`/JWT dep (todo §0):
// `createPublicKey({format:"jwk"})` imports a JWK and verifies the RS*/ES* signatures
// the Kratos tokenizer produces (see AGENTS.md). Signature only — §4 adds claim checks
// (exp/iss/aud, clock skew), JWKS-by-`kid` fetch/cache/rotation, and `token` bounds.
// JOSE `alg` → Node verify parameters. ES* signatures are raw r‖s (IEEE P1363), not DER.
// Extend this map to widen support. Security invariant: never add `HS*`/`none` — this map
// is the allowlist, and a symmetric entry lets an attacker-supplied HMAC key verify.
