Could someone direct me to the official chat or page where I can seek guidance on modifying a plugin file for the Discourse OpenID plugin? The endpoint is returning an application/jwt token instead of a JSON response, and I need to add logic to decode this JWT token. I intend to use a custom plugin file on top of the Discourse plugin. I’m looking for guidance on the correct steps to take.

This is the right place. Make sure you’ve read all the resources here on Meta and if you’re still stuck, this is the right place to ask.
