Description

When we receive an access token from OSM when a user signs in, we should store it (securely) so we can retrieve and re-use it and don't need to generate new access tokens every time a user needs to sign in again.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the OSM sign-in/OAuth flow and identify where access tokens are received and authentication state is persisted. Define secure storage, reuse, expiration, and revocation behavior, then add coverage showing a later sign-in can reuse a valid token.
