auth: refresh user tokens earlier and clarify refresh failures

[ArthurNie]

Summary

Refresh user access tokens earlier and correct identity diagnostics after a successful refresh.

This PR has been rebased and narrowed onto current main. The earlier concurrency, refresh-error disposition, token-preservation, and generation-safety changes are now superseded by merged #2135, so the old uat_client.go changes were dropped rather than layered onto the hardened refresh flow.

Changes

• Refresh access tokens within 60 minutes of expiry instead of 5 minutes.
• Document the assumption that normal access-token TTL exceeds the refresh-ahead window.
• After auth status --verify refreshes and successfully verifies the user token, report the user identity as ready and available.
• Add focused boundary and refresh-plus-verification regression coverage.
• Update existing one-hour "already valid" fixtures to 90 minutes so their intent remains valid under the wider window.

Test plan

• go test ./internal/auth ./internal/identitydiag -count=1
• go build ./...
• git diff --check

Related issue

Related to #1404. The destructive/concurrent refresh path is now handled by #2135; this PR retains only the independent proactive-refresh and diagnostic-readiness improvements.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved token refresh timing so tokens are refreshed earlier, reducing the risk of expiration during use.
  • Ensured successfully verified user identities consistently appear as ready and available.
  • Improved diagnostics for expiring tokens by refreshing them before verification.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for refresh timing and identity verification scenarios.

Overall: Solid, well-tested change addressing a real pain point — the 5-min window is easy for scheduled/intermittent CLI
usage to miss. Code compiles, meta/metaOK are correctly in scope, and the new test meaningfully guards the constant
(59/61 straddle the boundary and would fail under the old value). A few things worth considering before merge.

Main concern — widening the window enlarges the blast radius of clearing a still-valid token

In GetValidAccessToken, the needs_refresh path clears the token and returns NeedAuthorizationError on any non-retryable
refresh failure. With the old 5-min window, the in-hand access token had ≤5 min left, so discarding it was cheap. At 60 min,
a transient refresh-side hiccup (or an errclass misclassification) can now discard an access token with up to ~59 min of
remaining validity and force a re-login. This trades availability for earlier refresh, and is strictly more fragile when the
refresh endpoint is flaky.

Suggestion: on a non-retryable refresh failure, check now < stored.ExpiresAt first — if the access token is still
actually valid, keep using it (warn only) instead of clearing. If immediate invalidation on revoked/reused codes is an
intentional security policy, please state that explicitly, as it's a deliberate tradeoff.

Implicit assumption — access token TTL must exceed the refresh-ahead window

This relies on TTL > 60 min (currently 7200s default). If the server ever issues tokens with TTL ≤ 60 min, ExpiresAt - 60min is always in the past and every CLI invocation triggers a refresh. Worth a one-line comment at the constant
documenting this dependency.

Minor

• Refresh call frequency roughly doubles (one extra rotation per token lifetime) — negligible at current scale, but a noted
  cost.
• Nit: the PR body mentions running go test ./internal/errclass, but no errclass code/tests are touched here
  (regression-only, no issue).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The refresh-ahead window increases from 5 to 60 minutes. Tests cover status transitions and token expiry updates. User diagnosis now reports a verified identity as ready and available after successful verification.

Changes

Token Refresh and Identity Verification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Refresh-ahead window adjustment internal/auth/token_store.go, internal/auth/token_store_status_test.go, internal/auth/uat_client_refresh_test.go	TokenStatus now uses a 60-minute refresh-ahead window. Tests cover tokens just outside and inside the window.
Identity verification status reporting internal/identitydiag/diagnostics.go, internal/identitydiag/diagnostics_test.go	Successful user verification now sets the identity to ready and available with the message "User identity: ready". Tests cover refresh before verification and updated token expirations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a2200

The PR is merge-ready after normal checks and review; an additional persistence assertion would improve regression coverage but does not present an actionable merge-blocking risk.

- Around line 74-82: The test currently only exercises the helper
shouldClearTokenAfterRefreshFailure; add a unit test that directly invokes
doRefreshToken (or the exported function that performs the refresh flow) to
simulate an unrecoverable refresh failure and assert it both clears the stored
token in the TokenStore and emits the expected "auth login" guidance message;
mock or stub the refresh RPC to return an errclass with
Category=errs.CategoryAuthentication and
Subtype=errs.SubtypeRefreshTokenRevoked, call doRefreshToken with a TokenStore
pre-populated with a refresh token, then verify the TokenStore no longer
contains the token and that the logger/output contains the auth login guidance.

In `@internal/auth/uat_client.go`:
- Around line 271-281: The code drops the session or returns on callEndpoint()
transport/retry failures without applying the same "keep valid token until
expiry" fallback used for parsed OAuth errors; update the error handling around
callEndpoint() and the retry branch to check stored.ExpiresAt and
shouldClearTokenAfterRefreshFailure(meta, metaOK) (using meta/metaOK when
available) and, when the access token is still valid and
shouldClearTokenAfterRefreshFailure returns false, log a warning (including
opts.UserOpenId and the error/transport info) and return the existing stored
token instead of clearing it; ensure the same subtype/log message pattern used
in the parsed-error path is applied for transport/retry failures so transient
outages don’t force re-login.

Note

GitHub couldn't provide a complete incremental comparison for this pull request, so CodeRabbit is performing a full review instead. This review may take a little longer.

[ArthurNie]

Rebased and narrowed this PR onto current main.

The refresh concurrency/error-disposition work is now superseded by merged #2135, so I removed the old competing uat_client.go implementation. The PR now retains only:

• the 60-minute proactive refresh window, and
• corrected ready diagnostics after refresh plus successful server verification.

Validation passed: go test ./internal/auth ./internal/identitydiag -count=1, go build ./..., and git diff --check.

Could a maintainer please review the narrowed scope? The remaining CLA status appears to be repository-side/pending despite the contributor having previously signed it.

Rebased and narrowed this PR onto current main.

New exact head: a22002f93c0e2e84bc76e9ede4e9a1703a2d7f9f (base 755daa4de3ea12785c43a15244ffb8f012122c13).

The concurrency, refresh-error disposition, token preservation, and generation-safety work is now superseded by merged #2135, so I dropped the old uat_client.go changes rather than layering competing behavior onto the hardened refresh flow.

This PR now retains only the independent pieces:

• refresh access tokens within 60 minutes of expiry, with 59/61-minute boundary coverage;
• report user identity as ready after a refresh and successful server verification, with an end-to-end diagnostic regression test.

Existing one-hour “valid token” fixtures were adjusted to 90 minutes where necessary so their original intent remains valid under the wider refresh-ahead policy.

Validation on the exact head:

• go test ./internal/auth ./internal/identitydiag -count=1;
• go build ./...;
• git diff --check;
• conflict-marker scan.

Could a maintainer review the narrowed scope? The remaining non-code blocker appears to be the CLA check.

[ArthurNie]

Addressed the current review and CLA identity blockers on a refreshed main.

New exact head: 3e57b38e794d22de90dd81d04a1094fd06346c00
Base: da371dc242b6c04823f78f53a537dfd0ab6e6377

Changes since the prior head:

• the refresh/verify regression now also asserts that the stored access token is access-new, directly proving persistence of the refreshed credential;
• the single PR commit is now authored and committed by the GitHub-linked identity ArthurNie <nlarthur@gmail.com> rather than the unlinked local Merlin identity.

Final-head validation:

• go test ./internal/auth ./internal/identitydiag -count=1: passed;
• go build ./...: passed;
• git diff --check: passed;
• conflict-marker scan: passed;
• scope remains the same five auth/identity files.

Could CodeRabbit re-review the persisted-token assertion, and could the CLA check be rerun against the corrected commit identity?
