Full Release Notes

Security patch release for the 4.x line.

- `getToken()` now returns `null` instead of throwing when the `Authorization` header contains a malformed Bearer value.
- OAuth `state`, `nonce`, and PKCE check cookies are now bound to the provider that created them and are rejected when a different provider handles the callback. Sign-ins in flight across the upgrade fail once and succeed on retry.
- Email addresses are Unicode-normalized (NFKC) before validation in the email sign-in flow, closing a homoglyph `@` bypass.
- An explicitly configured `NEXTAUTH_URL` now takes precedence over the auto-detected forwarded host in trusted-host mode.
- Restores CommonJS compatibility by pinning `uuid` to `^11.1.1`; the 14.x line is ESM-only and broke `require()` on Node versions below 20.19.
