Description

We give you a new refresh token on every refresh flow. Thus if an attacker steals your refresh token and uses it, they will invalidate your token. We should make sure that if you then try to use your (now invalid) refresh token, the whole session is terminated (because we have detected that it was stolen). This event should be audited / logged as a potential compromise.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the refresh flow and how refresh-token reuse is detected and invalidated. Done means reuse terminates the whole session and records an auditable or logged potential-compromise event, with tests covering that behavior.
