What changed in this PR
Adds OIDC federated authentication to the UiPath SDK and CLI, enabling CI pipelines to authenticate without stored client secrets.
Changes:
- Supports JWT client assertions across CLI, SDK, and Identity services.
- Adds authentication tests and a GitHub Actions sample.
- Updates package versions and dependency requirements.

Summary
uipath auth --client-id ... --client-assertion <oidc-token>logs in with an OIDC token from the CI provider instead of a client secret (also read fromUIPATH_CLIENT_ASSERTION)UiPath(client_id=..., client_assertion=...)does the same from code, e.g. in tests that call Orchestratoruip login --client-assertionmakesfederated-credentials-cisample with a GitHub Actions workflowWhy
Fixes #1944. CI pipelines had to store a long-lived client secret to use the SDK.
