Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The autogenerated ruby clients only can be configured with a static access token. This does not work well for integrations where tokens are short-lived and need to be refreshed.

Describe the solution you'd like

The ruby client would have a configuration for a proc to get the access token.
The proc could be configured to retrieve a new access token.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could override the Configuration class to add this property, but that makes it hard to upgrade versions.

Research direction

The request concerns the Ruby client's Configuration class and its static access-token setting; start by locating those in the generator's Ruby client templates. Trace how generated Ruby clients obtain credentials, then verify that a configured proc can provide refreshed tokens in the generated client behavior.
