The OmniAuth Setup Phase[1] allows for "request-time modification of an OmniAuth strategy". We're intending to use this in Experience CS so that we can optionally include the `student` scope[2] to allow students to login. The Profile app uses the presence of the `student` scope in the login request to decide whether to display the student login form (i.e. the form containing the school code textbox). We want to allow students (as well as non-students) to login to Experience CS and so need a way of changing the `scope` accordingly. By default the `scope` is fixed at Rails initialization time in the `RpiAuth::Engine`[3] but we need to be able to toggle it at runtime depending on whether user is a student or not. By utilising OmniAuth's setup phase we can toggle the `scope` based on something we set in the app (e.g. we might set something in the session to indicate that we want the student login flow). I initially added logic in this Gem to add the `student` scope if a specific value was set in the session but later decided that it should be up to the consuming apps to use this `setup` phase as they see fit.

So that I can avoid disabling the Metrics/BlockLength RuboCop rule.

This looks good to me - I especially appreciate the tests that you've added which make things pretty clear! 🎉 |

I've marked this as draft again so that I can fix the same problem that @sebjacobs fixed in https://github.com/RaspberryPiFoundation/experience-cs/pull/612. |
