- Update auth context to handle OAuth tokens
- Add token refresh interceptor
### Configuration
- Add OAuth environment variables to `.env.example`
- Update deployment docs with new env requirementsTesting Section
Explain how changes were verified:
## Testing

- Refactoring first: Separate refactoring from feature
- Backend/Frontend: Split by layer
- Feature flags: Merge incomplete features behind flag
- Stacked PRs: Chain dependent PRs

- Work in progress
- Early feedback requests
- CI validation before review
