Use an Application Access Token for OpenShift API Access

In an authorized exercise, use a test application access token already configured in the active OpenShift or Kubernetes CLI context to make bounded API requests as its associated principal. For an OpenShift deployment with a publicly reachable API endpoint, the checks can originate outside the cluster without an internal execution foothold; private endpoints require an approved network path. Confirm the session identity and one namespaced authorization decision without collecting token material or reading workloads, pods, or secrets.
