Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the OAuth authorization redirect and state handling, then review related tests and documentation. Done should be a decided, documented, and tested way to preserve caller state across the redirect while retaining CSRF protection.

Description

I need to preserve state after redirecting (eg, using a custom parameter), but it seems the state parameter is currently only used for CSRF token. Is there another way to preserve state?
