Description
## What
authentik sends X-Frame-Options/CSP that block iframe embedding and silent token refresh; both ask for configurable frame/CSP headers.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing where authentik emits X-Frame-Options and CSP for iframe embedding and silent token refresh; done means those headers are configurable without breaking the admin UI or the requested refresh and embedding flows.
