handle malformed JWT tokens gracefully with 401 instead of 502 - #32
Merged
Conversation
Root cause: jwt.get_unverified_header() in get_claims() threw unhandled JWTError for malformed tokens, bubbling up through the validated decorator's generic except Exception re-raise and crashing the Lambda (HTTP 502). - Wrap get_unverified_header() in try/except JWTError → ClaimException - Add dedicated except ClaimException handler in validated() returning 401 - Poll records left to expire via TTL on auth failures
