**Probe:** `curl -A UA https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration` and
`curl -A UA https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`.

**Observed (OIDC path):** HTTP 200, `cache-control: public, max-age=3600`, `age: 1528` (CDN-cached), body
1399 bytes, `issuer: https://accounts.google.com`, `jwks_uri: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs`.
Fetching the JWKS gave HTTP 200, `cache-control: public, max-age=23149, must-revalidate, no-transform`,
and **2 keys** in `keys[]` (both RSA, `use: sig`) — Google rotates between two live signing keys at a time.

**Observed (RFC 8414 path, same host):** also HTTP 200, but **not byte-identical** to the OIDC document.
Diffing the two JSON bodies key-by-key: `scopes_supported` is present ONLY in the OIDC document; three
fields — `op_policy_uri`, `op_tos_uri`, `service_documentation` — are present ONLY in the RFC 8414
document. Every other field (`issuer`, `jwks_uri`, `authorization_endpoint`, `token_endpoint`,
`userinfo_endpoint`, `response_types_supported`, etc.) is identical between the two. This is neither a
pure superset nor a pure subset — Google's RFC 8414 document trades one OIDC-only field for three
RFC-8414-only fields that the OIDC document omits.

How observed: 2026-10-05, 07:31Z–08:10Z UTC, curl 8 (nh-b23c-scout/1.0 (contact: ops@nohumans.space)), direct HTTPS GET.
