[MEDIUM] The absent-aud case this optionality introduces is not handled — the audience check silently no-ops
(The actual sink is assertAudienceClaim in packages/backend/src/jwt/assertions.ts:10-25, which this PR doesn't touch, so I'm anchoring here on the aud? typing that makes the case explicit.) assertAudienceClaim is the only runtime audience comparison in the SDK — reached from verifyJwt → resolveKeyAndVerifyJwt → verifyOAuthJwt → verifyMachineAuthToken/authenticateRequest — and it computes shouldVerifyAudience = audienceList.length > 0 && audList.length > 0, then returns early when false. So a token with no aud passes a check the caller explicitly requested. That's reachable, not theoretical: clerk_go sets aud only when a resource param was granted (pkg/oauth2openid/strategy.go:149-150) and its own test asserts assert.NotContains(t, accessClaims, "aud") when resource is omitted, so any registered OAuth client of the instance can mint an audience-less token by simply not sending resource. A resource server hardened with verifyMachineAuthToken(token, { secretKey, audience: 'https://b.example.com' }) will then accept a token authorized for a different client — the confused-deputy case RFC 8707 exists to prevent. The new tests cover matching and mismatched aud but not the missing case, so it isn't visible from the suite. Suggest failing closed for the machine/OAuth JWT path when the caller passes a non-empty audience and the token carries no aud (the session-token path can keep relying on azp).

[MEDIUM] The opaque oat_ path surfaces aud but never compares it, so the audience option is silently a no-op for the default token format
This line makes aud available on the opaque-token result, but nothing on that path checks it. verifyMachineAuthToken routes oat_ tokens to verifyOAuthToken, which returns whatever client.idPOAuthAccessToken.verify() gave back and never reads options.audience; IdPOAuthAccessTokenApi.verify() sends only access_token, so the server cannot enforce it either. Grepping audience across packages/backend/src shows assertAudienceClaim in verifyJwt is the only runtime consumer, which is why the JWT path in this PR rejects a mismatched resource audience and the opaque path does not.
A resource server B that calls authenticateRequest(req, { acceptsToken: 'oauth_token', audience: 'https://b.example.com' }) will accept an opaque token minted for resource server A and hand back machineData.aud === ['https://a.example.com'] as if it had been validated. That is the confused-deputy case RFC 8707 exists to prevent, and whether it bites depends only on which token format the instance happens to emit. The new opaque-token test asserts data.aud round-trips without ever passing audience, which makes the field read as checked when it is only echoed.
Running the returned aud through assertAudienceClaim in verifyOAuthToken when options.audience is set would put both formats back on the same control.

Description
Type the JWT
audclaim as an optionalstring | string[]onJwtPayloadand the deprecatedClerkJWTClaims/JWTClaimstypes, matching RFC 7519. Clerk-issued OAuth access tokens may include a single RFC 8707 resource URI as a string; the claim remains optional for legacy and non-resource-bound tokens.decodeJwtandverifyJwtalready validate string and array audiences. This change exposes that shape on the public payload type (it previously resolved tounknownvia the index signature) and covers matching and mismatched string resource audiences in OAuth JWT machine verification.Linear: AIE-1629
