Worked on the Shopify/cli repository to deliver an Unauthorized Token Refresh Mechanism that improves authentication resilience for partner integrations. The solution introduced a centralized UnauthorizedHandler to refresh expired tokens and integrate seamlessly with client requests, replacing the previous brittle auto-retry approach for 401 errors. By focusing on robust error handling and token management, the work enhanced reliability and security for backend API interactions. Implemented in TypeScript and JavaScript, the changes aligned with best practices for authentication flows and laid a foundation for future enhancements. The targeted, single-commit update prioritized maintainability and reduced unintended retries during authentication failures.
