Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Fix Bearer token authentication causing session logout
When using Bearer token authentication with OIDC, API requests to
endpoints with @CORS annotations (like Notes API) were failing with
401 Unauthorized errors. This occurred because:
1. Bearer token validation successfully authenticated the user
2. A session was created for the authenticated user
3. Nextcloud's CORSMiddleware detected the logged-in session but no
CSRF token, causing it to call session->logout()
4. The logout invalidated the session, breaking the API request
This fix sets the 'app_api' session flag during Bearer token
authentication, which instructs CORSMiddleware to skip the CSRF check
and logout logic. This is the same mechanism used by Nextcloud's
AppAPI framework for external application authentication.
The flag is set at all successful Bearer token authentication points:
- Line 243: After OIDC Identity Provider validation
- Line 310: After auto-provisioning with bearer provisioning
- Line 315: After existing user authentication
- Line 337: After LDAP user sync
Fixes: Bearer token authentication for all Nextcloud APIs
Tested-with: nextcloud-mcp-server integration tests
