Description

This comes out of https://github.com/solid/notifications/issues/35

Even if this doesn't affect spec we should probably show how it can be done in the primer.
For the End-user it should be transparent that the client has two separate components. I think both of them using the same Client ID should be sufficient. If both components share the refresh token, issues may come up around rotating them. I think one of the components would be responsible for refreshing tokens and the other component would just get current access token from it.

Research direction

Start by reading the repository's primer and the linked solid/notifications issue #35 to understand the proposed server-side and on-device client arrangement. Document how both components can use one Client ID, including the refresh-token and current-access-token responsibilities, and make the separation transparent to end users.
