Telemetry sink refreshes auth before sending and pins federated tokens to a host

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Telemetry

Telemetry refreshes an expired token before sending and won't send tokens minted for another host.

What

The first-party event sink now refreshes an expired OAuth token once before sending a batch, and refuses to send a federated workload-identity token that was minted for a different host, that follows a recent mint failure still in backoff, or where the identity resolution changed mid-send. No user-visible surface.

Details
  • Refreshes are deduplicated by access token and share one in-flight promise across sinks; shutdown waits for it up to a millisecond budget.
  • The refresh is skipped for the final flush, shutdown, startup retries, and when the auth gate says otherwise.
  • Batch bodies and headers can be rewritten before the POST.
Evidence

workload-identity mint failed recently; not retried yet

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
