🐛 Known Issues

Compilation Errors (To Be Fixed)

1. JWT Service API Mismatch:

   • JwtService::new() takes JwtConfig not (secret, issuer, audience)
   • JwtClaims struct definition varies between modules
   • nbf field may not be present in all JwtClaims definitions

2. Required Fixes:

   // Fix 1: Use JwtConfig
   let config = JwtConfig::new()?;
   let jwt_service = JwtService::new(config);
   
   // Fix 2: Remove nbf field if not present
   let claims = JwtClaims {
       jti: "...".to_string(),
       // ... other fields
       // nbf: Some(now), // Remove if not in struct
   };
   

Redis Dependency

• Tests require Redis running on localhost:6379
• Use Docker: docker-compose up -d redis
• Cleanup required between test runs (handled automatically)
