-/**
- * ensureFreshAccessToken — server-side preflight refresh.
- *
- * Returns a non-expired IDP access token for a given session. Refreshes
- * proactively when the stored token is within the safety window of expiry,
- * using the same Redis lock and IDP wire shape as `createRefreshHandler`.
- *
- * Designed for proxy-route auth helpers that today read the stored token
- * blindly and let the backend reject it with a 401. Calling this instead of
- * `getSession(...).idpAccessToken` means a good token client never sends
- * credentials it already knows are invalid.
- *
- * Single-use refresh-token semantics are preserved via Redis-backed
- * single-flight locking (see `acquireRefreshLock`).

-     * 320072: DO NOT REPORT SUCCESS FOR A WRITE THAT WAS DISCARDED.
-     *
-     * `updateSession` returns null when the canonical session row is absent,
-     * which silently throws away EVERYTHING above — the new access token, the
-     * rotated refresh token, decodedAccessToken, authenticationMethods,
-     * mfaVerified, mfaCompletedAt, mfaExpiresAt. This return value was
-     * previously ignored, and the line below then reported
-     * `ok: true, refreshed: true`.
-     *
-     * WHY THAT IS WORSE THAN A PLAIN LOST WRITE. By this point the exchange at
-     * the IDP has ALREADY HAPPENED, so if refresh tokens are single-use the
-     * token we sent is now spent and its replacement is the thing we just
-     * dropped. The stored credential is therefore dead, and every later attempt
-     * re-sends that same dead token and fails. The user is bounced to LOGIN —
-     * not to verify-code — with nothing in the logs naming the cause.
-     *
-     * It did not even surface as a wrong answer to our one caller: server/auth.ts
-     * calls getRedisSession immediately after us, which is this same `getSession`,
-     * so it finds the same missing row and returns a generic NO_SESSION one frame
-     * later. The false `ok: true` was thus invisible AND the real cause — a
-     * dropped persist — was reported as an unrelated missing session.
-     *
-     * Naming it here is the point: the failure is reported at its true cause,
-     * with a code that says the refresh succeeded and the PERSIST is what
-     * failed. Not retryable — retrying burns another refresh token the same way.
-     *
-     * This is the card's option (b), deliberately. Option (a) — teaching
-     * updateSession to write through to whichever store holds the session,
-     * mirroring the read fallback above — is the better end state but changes
-     * write-path storage semantics for every caller, which is not this card.
-     *
-     * AND IT IS ALSO LOGGED, WHICH IS NOT THE SAME THING (BAPert R1134 §7,
-     * re-affirmed in R1145 §2c). Returning a named code tells the CALLER. §7

+     *
+     * `updateSession` returns null when the canonical session row is absent,
+     * which silently throws away EVERYTHING above — the new access token, the
+     * rotated refresh token, decodedAccessToken, authenticationMethods,
+     * mfaVerified, mfaCompletedAt, mfaExpiresAt. This return value was
+     * previously ignored, and the line below then reported
+     * `ok: true, refreshed: true`.
+     *
+     * WHY THAT IS WORSE THAN A PLAIN LOST WRITE. By this point the exchange at
+     * the IDP has ALREADY HAPPENED, so if refresh tokens are single-use the
+     * token we sent is now spent and its replacement is the thing we just
+     * dropped. The stored credential is therefore dead, and every later attempt
+     * re-sends that same dead token and fails. The user is bounced to LOGIN —
+     * not to verify-code — with nothing in the logs naming the cause.
+     *
+     * It did not even surface as a wrong answer to our one caller: server/auth.ts
+     * calls getRedisSession immediately after us, which is this same `getSession`,
+     * so it finds the same missing row and returns a generic NO_SESSION one frame
+     * later. The false `ok: true` was thus invisible AND the real cause — a
+     * dropped persist — was reported as an unrelated missing session.
+     *
+     * Naming it here is the point: the failure is reported at its true cause,
+     * with a code that says the refresh succeeded and the PERSIST is what
+     * failed. Not retryable — retrying burns another refresh token the same way.
+     *
+     * This is the card's option (b), deliberately. Option (a) — teaching
+     * updateSession to write through to whichever store holds the session,
+     * mirroring the read fallback above — is the better end state but changes
+     * write-path storage semantics for every caller, which is not this card.
+     *
+     * AND IT IS ALSO LOGGED, WHICH IS NOT THE SAME THING (BAPert R1134 §7,
+     * re-affirmed in R1145 §2c). Returning a named code tells the CALLER. §7
+     * requires that `persisted:false` reach a log A HUMAN READS, because the one
+     * caller — server/auth.ts — converts every non-ok result into the same
+     * generic 401 and keeps no record of which code produced it. Without this
+     * line the distinction we just bought at the type level is erased one frame
+     * later and no operator ever sees the word PERSIST. The escalation is the
+     * contract; the warn is the evidence.
