The k3s OIDC discovery + JWKS endpoints require an AUTHENTICATED request
(anonymous -> 401; anonymous-auth is off on the cluster) and are served over the
cluster CA. A bare http.DefaultClient (correct for public Authentik) cannot
reach them, so multi-issuer alone (v0.4.0) could not actually validate k8s SA
tokens in-cluster.
Add IssuerConfig.HTTPClient: when set, it fetches THAT issuer's discovery + JWKS
(threaded into discoverJWKSURI and jwk.Cache.Register via jwk.WithHTTPClient).
The k8s-issuer consumer supplies a client that trusts the cluster CA
(/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt) and carries the server
pod's SA bearer. nil keeps http.DefaultClient (Authentik/public, unchanged).
Test: an auth-gated in-process issuer — unauthenticated fetch fails, a client
carrying the credential builds + validates a token. Empirically grounded in the
k3s 401 finding during the ADR-0011 in-cluster PoC.
