Skip `expired_token` retry flow when Session Minter is enabled. When `sessionMinter` is on, the token is sent in the POST body, so the retry-with-expired-token fallback is unnecessary. The retry flow is preserved for non-Session Minter mode.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Remove expired_token retry path entirely to prevent JWT query-string leakage

Line 500-503 still retries with expired_token in the URL query. This keeps the exact leakage risk (logs/proxies/referrers) this PR is intended to eliminate. Also, gating body token by sessionMinterEnabled (Line 491) conflicts with the objective that token is now sent in POST body for /tokens.

Remove expired_token retry path entirely to prevent JWT query-string leakage

Line 500-503 still retries with expired_token in the URL query. This keeps the exact leakage risk (logs/proxies/referrers) this PR is intended to eliminate. Also, gating body token by sessionMinterEnabled (Line 491) conflicts with the objective that token is now sent in POST body for /tokens.

Skip `expired_token` retry flow when Session Minter is enabled. When `sessionMinter` is on, the token is sent in the POST body, so the retry-with-expired-token fallback is unnecessary. The retry flow is preserved for non-Session Minter mode.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Remove expired_token retry path entirely to prevent JWT query-string leakage

Line 500-503 still retries with expired_token in the URL query. This keeps the exact leakage risk (logs/proxies/referrers) this PR is intended to eliminate. Also, gating body token by sessionMinterEnabled (Line 491) conflicts with the objective that token is now sent in POST body for /tokens.

In `@packages/clerk-js/src/core/resources/Session.ts` around lines 494 - 503, The
code still retries with expired_token in the query string (using Token.create in
the catch and MissingExpiredTokenError with lastActiveToken), which reintroduces
JWT-in-URL leakage; remove that retry branch entirely and stop passing
expired_token via query params. Update the logic around sessionMinterEnabled and
the Token.create calls so that /tokens requests always send the token in the
POST body (not in query params) and eliminate the catch block that checks
MissingExpiredTokenError/lastActiveToken and re-invokes Token.create with {
expired_token: ... }.
