Research direction

Start with the reported stack trace in node_modules/jsonwebtoken/verify.js and the jwtService.js validate call referenced from server.js. Reproduce the verify() error with the reported console.log output, then trace the arguments and callback at that entry point. Done means the cause of the "done is not a function" error is identified and a verified correction is covered by a regression test.
