# PROJ-2048: OAuth 2.1 PKCE Authentication Service
> **Security Compliance Notice**
> All legacy **implicit grant** endpoints are ~~deprecated~~ and must be decommissioned by **Q3 2026**.
## Problem Statement & Scope
Developers migrating from Atlassian Jira need clean **GitHub Flavored Markdown** without manual reformatting.
Currently, @alex.chen reports that copying ticket descriptions yields broken syntax in GitHub PRs.
## Acceptance Criteria
1. Verify `code_verifier` generation with minimum 43 characters.
1. Compute SHA-256 hash `code_challenge` and base64url encode.
1. Validate user session tokens against the Redis cluster.
## Performance & Availability Matrix
| Tier | Latency (ms) | Availability | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Edge Worker | < 5ms | 99.99% | ✅ Active |
| Central API | ~ 45ms | 99.95% | ✅ Active |
| Legacy Fallback | ~ 180ms | 98.50% | ❌ Deprecated |
## Implementation Snippet
```typescript
import { createHash, randomBytes } from 'crypto';
export function generatePKCECodes() {
const verifier = randomBytes(32).toString('base64url');
const challenge = createHash('sha256').update(verifier).digest('base64url');
return { verifier, challenge };
}
```

What this converter does not do (yet), and what to do instead.
- Text colours ({color}) are removed, because Markdown has no colour syntax.
- Panels become block quotes with the panel title in bold.
- User mentions ([~username]) become @username text, and issue keys are not turned into links.
- Jira macros such as {jira}, {chart} or attachments thumbnails are not converted.

Pro Tips & Edge Cases Handled for Jira to Markdown
Practical advice for achieving high-fidelity conversions and resolving syntax edge cases.
Developer Pro Tips
- In Jira,
# itemis a numbered list, NOT a heading! Our converter correctly maps it to1. iteminstead of turning it into a massive# Heading 1. - In Jira,
*word*is bold, whereas in Markdown it is italic. Our converter automatically transforms it into**word**so your emphasis is preserved. - Code blocks with languages (e.g.
{code:typescript}) are automatically translated into language-fenced triple-backtick blocks (```typescript). - Atlassian emoticons like
(y),(n),(/), and(!)are automatically converted into modern Unicode emojis 👍, 👎, ✅, and ⚠️.
Edge Cases Resolved Automatically

Comprehensive answers to common technical, formatting, security, and compatibility questions.
*text* for bold (which is italics in Markdown), h1. instead of #, {{code}} instead of backticks, and # for numbered lists. Pasting Jira markup directly results in garbled styling.{code:javascript}, {code:python:title=script.py}, or {code:typescript} are converted into standard fenced code blocks with language identifiers ( `typescript ).||Header 1||Header 2||) for header cells and single pipes (|Data 1|Data 2|) for rows. Our converter automatically maps these into standard GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) pipe tables with alignment dividers (| :--- | :--- |).[~username] are converted into standard @username mentions, and attachment references like [^document.pdf] are converted into clean Markdown links [document.pdf](document.pdf).{panel:title=Warning}...{panel} and {quote}...{quote} blocks are translated into clean Markdown blockquotes (`> **Warning**
> ...`), ensuring high readability in GitHub and Notion.How the Jira to Markdown Engine Works
Every step below runs in your browser tab; your content is never sent to a server.
Pipeline Architecture Specification
The Jira to Markdown converter isolates code blocks and monospace tokens, translates Jira h1-h6 headings, parses Atlassian table structures into GFM pipe tables, unwraps Jira list levels (# and *), reorders link pipes into markdown brackets, and normalizes text formatting.
