Swagger UI token refresh limits

Summary#

Problem#

Teams may expect FastAPI's Swagger UI to automatically refresh expired JWTs during interactive API use.

Solution#

Do not assume Swagger UI handles full refresh-token workflows automatically. persistAuthorization can preserve auth data across reloads, but token refresh usually belongs in a real client or a custom docs integration if you need that behavior.

Failure Modes#

Confusing persisted authorization with automatic token refresh
Relying on Swagger UI behavior as proof that production auth UX is correct
Building on incomplete or placeholder research without validating the actual refresh flow
