> h2. Problem
> {{SpiffeProducer.validateJwtSvid}} takes the first audience and discards the rest:
> {code:java}
> JwtSvid svid = client.validateJwtSvid(token, audiences[0]);
> {code}
> So an endpoint configured {{audience=spiffe://example.org/a,spiffe://example.org/b}} validates *only* against {{a}}. Nothing warns; {{b}} is silently ignored.
> This is documented in passing, but silent truncation is the wrong behaviour for a security check - the operator's stated intent was that either audience is acceptable, and only half of it is enforced. It also became more consequential with CAMEL-24730: now that {{CamelSpiffeAudience}} can no longer override the configured value on the validation path, the configuration is the *only* input, so a misconfiguration there has nowhere else to surface.
> Contrast {{fetchJwtSvid}} on the line above, which does honour every audience:
> {code:java}
> audiences.length > 1
>         ? client.fetchJwtSvid(audiences[0], Arrays.copyOfRange(audiences, 1, audiences.length))
>         : client.fetchJwtSvid(audiences[0]);
> {code}
> h2. Proposal
> Pick one, and make it explicit rather than silent:
> # Validate against each configured audience and accept if any matches - matches the natural reading of a list, and mirrors how {{fetchJwtSvid}} treats the same option.
> # Reject a multi-value {{audience}} at endpoint creation when the operation is {{validateJwtSvid}}, so the misconfiguration fails fast instead of half-applying.
> Option 1 is the better fit for the existing option semantics. Whichever is chosen, the javadoc and {{spiffe-component.adoc}} must state it, and a test must lock it.
> h2. Scope
> {{main}} only. {{camel-spiffe}} is new in the unreleased 4.23.0.
