Age freshly minted session tokens from local insert on a fast clock - #10583
#10401 ages cache entries with min(exp, createdAt + exp - iat) so a slow device clock cannot keep serving past server expiry. On a fast clock that same min() picks server exp, which is already in the past relative to the device, so every mint is dropped immediately and the poller POSTs /tokens about every 1.5s.
For tokens this client just minted, age from local insert for the full JWT lifetime (createdAt + exp - iat). Hydrated and broadcast tokens keep the #10401min() so a slow clock still prefers the earlier bound.
Test plan
Unit: hydrated/default path still drops immediately when the device clock is far ahead of exp
Unit: trustLocalLifetime keeps a mint for its full lifetime on a fast clock
Unit: broadcast path does not adopt local-lifetime aging on a fast clock
Unit: existing slow-clock / ahead-clock skew suite still passes

count against its lifetime.

Review comments at @packages/clerk-js/src/core/tokenCache.ts:
- Line 397: Update the token-cache expiry selection around `expiresAt` so
hydrating an identical JWT preserves its previously trusted expiry even when
`params.trustLocalLifetime` is false; retain the existing expiry behavior for
different tokens. Add a replacement regression test covering the same-token
hydration case.

Walkthrough
The token cache adds trustLocalLifetime to its set parameters. When enabled, cache expiry uses local insertion time and the token’s JWT lifetime instead of the earlier of local expiry and JWT exp. Session token fetch and background refresh writes enable this option. Tests cover fast-clock behavior for trusted tokens, default cache writes, and broadcast tokens.
The change fixes the fast-clock refetch loop only for freshly minted tokens. A later session hydration can still evict the trusted token. Delayed background refreshes can leave an expired token in the cache. Existing session tests also need updating. Resolve these before merging.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #10575 asks that a token minted by this client be aged from local insert time for its full lifetime (exp - iat). Hydrated and broadcast tokens must keep min(exp, localLifetime). The head implements both parts.
packages/clerk-js/src/core/tokenCache.ts: TokenCacheSetParams adds optional trustLocalLifetime. In the resolver, expiresAt is localLifetime (ownEntry.createdAt + exp - iat) when the flag is set. Otherwise it is Math.min(claims.exp, localLifetime), as before.
packages/clerk-js/src/core/resources/Session.ts: both mint sites, #fetchToken and #refreshTokenInBackground, pass trustLocalLifetime: true. The hydration and broadcast call sites do not pass the flag, so they keep min().
packages/clerk-js/src/core/tests/tokenCache.test.ts: added tests cover the hydrated default path (dropped immediately on a fast clock), the trusted mint (kept for 50 s, dropped after 61 s with a 60 s lifetime), and the broadcast path (dropped immediately). The existing skew tests are unchanged.
The read path and eviction timer both use the entry expiresAt in tokenCache.ts. For a trusted mint, the device clock no longer drops the entry at insert. Verification limit: I read the cache logic and the mint call sites. I did not read Session.getToken or the poller in full, so I did not confirm that no other device-clock check forces a refetch on a cache hit. The issue's cause analysis places the drop in the cache, which the diff addresses.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changed code serves objective #10575. The diff covers four files:
tokenCache.ts: the new trustLocalLifetime option and the branch that selects localLifetime or min(). This is the core fix.
Session.ts: two one-line additions that set trustLocalLifetime: true at the two mint sites. This connects the fix to freshly minted tokens only.
tokenCache.test.ts: tests for the new option and for the unchanged hydrated and broadcast behavior.
.changeset/token-cache-fast-clock.md: a patch changeset for the behavior change. This is release documentation for the fix.
No unrelated refactors, API changes, or other behavior changes appear in the reviewed summary. The freshestKnown and pending-entry logic is unchanged.

Update the six exact cache-write assertions.
The five network-mint tests and the timer-triggered background-refresh test use exact toHaveBeenLastCalledWith assertions. Their expected objects omit trustLocalLifetime: true, so they can fail when executed against the current cache writes. Keep the hydrated-token assertion unchanged because hydration does not set this property.
Suggested test updates
+ trustLocalLifetime: true,
Add this property to the expected objects in the five network-mint assertions at Session.test.ts:80-148 and the background-refresh assertion at Session.test.ts:871-875.

Age background tokens from the start of the request.
This cache entry is created after the refresh request resolves, so a delayed response gives the token a full lifetime after receipt. For a 60-second token received 20 seconds after minting, the next proactive refresh starts about three seconds after server expiry. During that interval, getToken() can return an expired token. Capture the local request start time and use it as the expiry baseline.

Preserve the trusted expiry when the same token is hydrated.
On a fast clock, a later client update can hydrate the same JWT without trustLocalLifetime. pickFreshest selects its earlier, already-expired expiry and drops the trusted cache entry. The next poll fetches another token instead of reusing the mint. Client.fromJSON rebuilds sessions and triggers this hydration. Preserve the trusted expiry for an identical token and add a replacement test. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Thank you for the contribution, @umeraamir69. In an effort to reduce spam and automated PRs, we're going to close this one and discuss the issue internally.
If you run into something you actually use and want to fix, please comment on the issue first. That lets us confirm the approach and whether we're already working on it, so nobody's time goes to duplicate work.
@umeraamir69 We understand you are trying to help, but these automated PRs are not helpful to us and create unnecessary noise, we can use our own agents to make fixes.
We would appreciate if you could turn off your automation for Clerk repos to avoid us having to take stronger action to prevent this PR-spam. Thank you!
