The scope in parentheses is doing real work. `rejected(oauth-library)` lets you do `git log --grep="rejected(auth"` to find every rejected auth decision across history.
If you flatten it to a trailer token you either lose the scope or encode it awkwardly as `Rejected-auth-oauth-library: value`, which doesn't grep cleanly and doesn't parse naturally.
