Summary
Allow a user authenticated through GitHub to switch the existing Coder user to OIDC. The GitHub-to-OIDC path may use a different email after ownership of the GitHub account is proven; password flows keep their existing email-match requirement.
The conversion requires the active GitHub session to belong to the target user, rejects OIDC identities already bound to another Coder user, and revokes only the session used to perform the conversion.
Verification
Manual verification on a non-production Coder deployment confirmed that a converted user retained the same Coder user and workspace ownership, could sign in through OIDC, and could no longer sign in through GitHub. I also ran generation, formatting, the full pre-commit suite, targeted OIDC backend tests, a fake-IdP JWK verification test, the affected Storybook file, TypeScript checks, frontend lint, and a production frontend build.

AI assistance was used extensively for this contribution. Primary used
gpt-5.6-terra. I reviewed the implementation and verification results and remain accountable for the change. Note this was tested on our live coder instance when migrating users from GitHub to Okta for auth.
