	 <t>   The Secure Webhook Token (SWT) is a specialized JSON Web Token (JWT)
   format designed for securely authorizing and verifying webhook
   requests.  It defines a set of claims to ensure that the token is
   explicitly tied to webhook events and that its integrity can be
   reliably validated by the recipient.  A key feature of SWT is the
   introduction of a unique claim, webhook, which encapsulates webhook-
   specific information, such as the event type.

   By providing a structured and secure approach to webhook
   authentication, SWT aims to be a lightweight and flexible solution
   while maintaining compatibility with typical JWT structures.  It is
   designed with the best practices in mind and may serve as a
   foundation for future standardization efforts.
