So, it means that you and the LLM together have managed to write SEVEN lines of trivial code per hour. On a protocol that is perfectly documented, where you can look at about one million other implementations when in doubt.
It is not my intention to hurt your feelings, but it sounds like you and/or the LLM are not really good at their job. Looking at programmer salaries and LLM energy costs, this appears to be a very very VERY expensive OAuth library.
Again: Not my intention to hurt any feelings, but the numbers really are shockingly bad.
I spent about 5 days semi-focused on this codebase (though I always have lots of people interrupting me all the time). It's about 5000 lines (if you count comments, tests, and documentation, which you should). Where do you get 7 lines per hour?
Yes, my brain got confused on who wrote the code and who just reported about it. I am truly sorry. I will go see my LLM doctor to get my brain repaired.

Lines of code per hour is a terrible metric to use. Additionally, it's far easier to critique code that's already written!
