current Session state is found by either:

when(it) {
is SessionStatus.Authenticated ->
SessionStatus.Initializing ->
is SessionStatus.RefreshFailure ->
is SessionStatus.NotAuthenticated ->
}

authd, initing, and notAuthd make sense as state. RefreshFailure could very well be an event instead of state, no?

Yes and no, currently this status appears if the session expired and refreshing failed. So the session can't be used during that time, but you are also not unauthenticated

[Colton Idle]

so. i guess it was a concious decision to add this as a separate state. i guess i was sorta curious why not just have it be NotAuthenticated in that case. instead of creating a new state for refreshFailure.

maybe more importantly. was there any inspiration for this? like are these 4 states pretty much the gold standard for auth?

[Jan]

I think it might lead to confusion if merged into one, in any case the state is getting renamed in the future as the current name is still a renmant of the old system

[Colton Idle]

oooh. whats the rename going to be?

[Jan]

Will still be decided what the best move is for handling an expired session. Probably after
