In sec 6 you can send scope to down scope a refresh token.

In that case if the client asks for a scope that was not part of the original code grant then you would  return invalid_scope.

It is not an error in the spec.

After the user approves the scope in the authorization request, the client exchanges the code for the access token. I'm talking about the token request, where there is no scope parameter listed, section 4.1.3 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1.3 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1.3>
