Live Google Workspace delivery validation surfaced a real, self-resolving Google-side condition: freshly-authorized domain-wide delegation can take up to about a minute to propagate across Google's auth infrastructure, producing intermittent unauthorized_client on the OAuth token exchange even with correct configuration. gws-provider.js now classifies unauthorized_client as a temporary (retryable) error instead of permanent, so the existing bounded-backoff worker absorbs it automatically. Also documents the alias-vs-delegated-user env passthrough in docker-compose.dev.yml, and records both real findings (this one and the GOOGLE_DELEGATED_USER alias distinction) plus the full live-delivery validation outcome in the runbook and Phase 5C doc. Validated live: isolated gws-email-test.js send (DKIM/SPF passing, delivered) and a full real lifecycle test (create student, enrollment, real activation email, activate, login, see program, real password-reset email, reset, login with new password) via [email protected].
