Summary

Added optional JWT payload fields 'ads-opt-out' and 'ads-player-params' for ad management in server-side ad insertion.

Security assessment

The change extends JWT functionality with ad-related fields for opt-out and parameter passing, but there is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities; it is a feature enhancement for ad integration.
