Thanks a lot for all the detail, I really appreciate it. I think I have a sharper idea of what PKCE is attempting to and NOT trying (or capable) to protect. It clarifies a lot. I understand what OAuth is generally for this context (the confusion concerning sending a token to authorize really had to do with how auth had any ability to discern "validated" secrets or not), but I see now that this is not the point of PCKE and so it's not really relevant.
