## Title

    [AI SDK MCP client OAuth] "OAuth protected resource metadata URL ... must have the same origin as the MCP server URL" / issuer "does not match expected issuer"

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The client enforces same-origin for resource metadata and strict issuer equality for AS metadata and authorization-response iss.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Derived from source; no prose doc page.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - does not match expected issuer
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/ai/5d12eaa6caa193d3901cbab98a734403eb6bf622/packages/mcp/src/tool/oauth.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): assertResourceMetadataUrlSameOrigin and issuer validation functions throw MCPClientOAuthError with these messages.
    
    Search phrasings: ai sdk mcp protected resource metadata must have the same origin; mcp oauth issuer does not match expected issuer ai sdk
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
