This PR hardens OAuth token exchange validation by binding exchanged credentials to the client and redirect URI that originally obtained them.

What it changes:

  • reject refresh token exchanges when the refresh token belongs to a different OAuth application
  • reject authorization code exchanges when the redirect_uri in the token request differs from the redirect_uri stored with the authorization code
  • add integration coverage for:
    • authorization code exchange with a mismatched redirect URI
    • refresh token reuse across two different dynamically created OAuth applications

Why:

OAuth authorization codes and refresh tokens must remain bound to the client context that originally received them. Without those checks:

  • a valid authorization code can be redeemed against a different registered redirect URI of the same client
  • a refresh token can be replayed by a different OAuth client

Backport #37704 

This PR hardens OAuth token exchange validation by binding exchanged
credentials to the client and redirect URI that originally obtained
them.

What it changes:

- reject refresh token exchanges when the refresh token belongs to a
different OAuth application
- reject authorization code exchanges when the `redirect_uri` in the
token request differs from the `redirect_uri` stored with the
authorization code
- add integration coverage for:
  - authorization code exchange with a mismatched redirect URI
- refresh token reuse across two different dynamically created OAuth
applications

Why:

OAuth authorization codes and refresh tokens must remain bound to the
client context that originally received them. Without those checks:
- a valid authorization code can be redeemed against a different
registered redirect URI of the same client
- a refresh token can be replayed by a different OAuth client
