+// Note: This test verifies the expected behavior of the
+// /api/connect/github/callback endpoint when invalid or
+// malformed OAuth state values are received.
+//
+// The implementation in connect.ts now:
+// - safely parses OAuth state via parseGoogleState()
+// - validates required fields (userId + nonce)
+// - redirects invalid callbacks safely
+//
+// Security note:
+// OAuth state validation helps prevent tampered callback
+// requests and malformed state payload attacks.
