// Package token provides a generic model of the [TokenPayload] required
// within an Envelope.
//
// # Field requirements
//
// While the Token object represents the wire format of both a UCAN
// Delegation token and a UCAN Invocation token, the delegation and
// invocation packages are, respectively, responsible for making sure
// required fields are included when creating a new Token or when
// validating the contents of an Envelope as it's received from
// another party. The following table shows the current (as of
// 2024-09-11) relationship between optional and nullable fields in
// the delegation and invocation views and the payload model:
//
// | Name | Delegation | Invocation | Token |
// | | Required | Nullable | Required | Nullable | |
// | ----- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
// | iss | Yes | No | Yes | No | |
// | aud | Yes | No | No | N/A | Optional |
// | sub | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Nullable |
// | cmd | Yes | No | Yes | No | |
// | pol | Yes | No | X | X | Optional |
// | nonce | Yes | No | No | N/A | Optional |
// | meta | No | N/A | No | N/A | Optional |
// | nbf | No | N/A | X | X | Optional |
// | exp | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
// | args | X | X | Yes | No | Optional |
// | prf | X | X | Yes | No | Optional |
// | iat | X | X | No | N/A | Optional |
// | cause | X | X | No | N/A | Optional |
