+A lightweight, no-config headless authentication library for projects using Netlify Identity. Works in both browser and server contexts.
+This is NOT the Netlify Identity Widget. This library exports standalone async functions (e.g., import { login, getUser } from '@netlify/identity'). There is no class to instantiate and no .init() call. Just import the functions you need and call them.
 
 > **Status:** Beta. The API may change before 1.0.

+```ts
+refreshSession(): Promise<string | null>
+```
+
+Refreshes an expired or near-expired session. Returns the new access token on success, or `null` if no refresh is needed or the refresh token is invalid/missing.
+
+**Browser:** Checks if the current access token is near expiry and refreshes it if needed, syncing the new token to the `nf_jwt` cookie. Note: the library automatically refreshes tokens in the background after any browser flow that establishes a session (`login()`, `signup()`, `hydrateSession()`, `handleAuthCallback()`, `confirmEmail()`, `recoverPassword()`, `acceptInvite()`), so you typically don't need to call this manually. `getUser()` also restarts the refresh timer when it finds an existing session. Browser-side errors return `null`, not an `AuthError`.
+
+**Server:** Reads the `nf_jwt` and `nf_refresh` cookies. If the access token is expired or within 60 seconds of expiry, exchanges the refresh token for a new access token via the Identity `/token` endpoint and updates both cookies on the response. Call this in framework middleware or at the start of server-side request handlers to ensure the JWT is valid for downstream processing.
+
+**Throws:** `AuthError` on network failure or if the Identity endpoint URL cannot be determined. Does **not** throw for invalid/expired refresh tokens (returns `null` instead).
