Description

Lazy loading can be used with:

  • password prompts,
  • web browser interactions to acquire/refresh OAuth2 access tokens,
  • KMS lookups
  • audit logs
  • dynamic values that can't be computed until data from the server has been seen.

Eagerly doing these actions can be wasteful, frustrating to the user, or violate security policies.

Research direction

The issue names SASL but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating SASL property handling and authentication flows in net-imap, then clarify the callback and lazy-loading API with maintainers. Done should cover the listed password, OAuth2, KMS, audit-log, and server-dependent value cases.
