Robert Lazarski resolved RAMPART-337.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

  SimpleTokenStore.add() now opportunistically retires expired tokens
  =E2=80=94 any token whose expiry elapsed more than a configurable grace
  period ago (default 5 min) is purged when a new token is added. This
  bounds the in-memory store under sustained STS/SecureConversation
  load (the OOM in the issue). The grace period deliberately keeps
  recently-expired tokens so an in-flight message still referencing
  one doesn't fail with "Unsupported key identification" =E2=80=94 the exac=
t
  failure the reporter hit when deleting expired tokens immediately.
  Tokens with no expiry are never purged.

  Added two tests (retirement + grace-period retention); full clean
  -Papache-release verify on JDK 25 passes (all modules + 9 samples).
