Great news.

If you have sent a PKCE challenge and no verifier that should be a authentication failure as if the value were wrong.

I don’t know if it needs a special error.

Thanks for bringing it up.

The assumption being that if you are sending code_verifier on the token exchange, you are using PKCE and should have sent code_challenge on the authorization request, so something is amiss.
