Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the forge.from_json entry point and any existing token-handling APIs, then compare the generated object with the requested Contribution shape and decoded token fields. Done means the method automatically produces the specified agent data from a decoded Nexus token.

Description

enhancement

Add a method to generate automatically a contribution object with the shape:

    "type": "Contribution",
    "agent": {
        "id": f"https://bbp.epfl.ch/nexus/v1/realms/bbp/users/{decoded['preferred_username']}",
        "type": ["Agent", "Person"],
        "givenName": decoded["given_name"],
        "familyName": decoded["family_name"],
        "name": decoded["name"],
        "email": decoded["email"]
    }
})

where decoded is the Nexus decoded token:
decoded = jwt.decode(TOKEN, "secret", audience="https://slack.com", options={"verify_signature": False})
