    Function refreshAuthToken

    • Exchange the current (still-valid) bearer token for a fresh one via POST /auth/refresh, updating storage on success.

      NB: this backend can only refresh a token that is still valid — once a token has expired (and started returning 401) it cannot be refreshed, so this is a proactive mechanism, not a 401 recovery path. Uses raw fetch (not the 401-aware wrapper) to avoid recursive teardown.

      Returns Promise<boolean>

      true if a new token was stored.
