Why
Core 2 is still loaded into production apps, and it has the same bug #9030 fixed on main: a stale edge-minted session token (lower JWT oiat) can overwrite a fresher one on the same tab, clobbering the __session cookie or the in-memory lastActiveToken.

What changed
Ports the two write-site guards from #9030: the cookie-write guard in AuthCookieService and the lastActiveToken guard in Session, plus the tokenFreshness helpers they use. Freshness is ranked by the JWT oiat header, then iat; tokens without oiat pass through untouched. The tokenCache rework from #9030 (baseline/resolvedToken chaining, background-refresh timers) is left out on purpose: Core 2 predates that cache substrate, and the two guards deliver the guarantee on their own without pulling in unrelated features.

Blockers / related
Backports #9030.

48ab952
Backport of #9030 to the Core 2 maintenance line.
Prevents a staler session token from overwriting a fresher one on the same
tab, protecting the __session cookie and the in-memory lastActiveToken.
Freshness is ranked by the JWT oiat header, then iat; tokens without oiat
pass through.
Core 2 predates the token-cache substrate the original built on (no
resolvedToken or baseline chaining and no background-refresh timers), so the
tokenCache rework and its tests are omitted. The two write-site guards, the
AuthCookieService cookie write and the Session lastActiveToken assignment,
deliver the user-facing guarantee on their own.

Why

Core 2 is still loaded into production apps, and it has the same bug #9030 fixed on main: a stale edge-minted session token (lower JWT oiat) can overwrite a fresher one on the same tab, clobbering the __session cookie or the in-memory lastActiveToken.
What changed

Ports the two write-site guards from #9030: the cookie-write guard in AuthCookieService and the lastActiveToken guard in Session, plus the tokenFreshness helpers they use. Freshness is ranked by the JWT oiat header, then iat; tokens without oiat pass through untouched. The tokenCache rework from #9030 (baseline/resolvedToken chaining, background-refresh timers) is left out on purpose: Core 2 predates that cache substrate, and the two guards deliver the guarantee on their own without pulling in unrelated features.

Backports #9030.

fix(clerk-js): Backport monotonic session token guard for Core 2
48ab952
Backport of #9030 to the Core 2 maintenance line.
Prevents a staler session token from overwriting a fresher one on the same
tab, protecting the __session cookie and the in-memory lastActiveToken.
Freshness is ranked by the JWT oiat header, then iat; tokens without oiat
pass through.
Core 2 predates the token-cache substrate the original built on (no
resolvedToken or baseline chaining and no background-refresh timers), so the
tokenCache rework and its tests are omitted. The two write-site guards, the
AuthCookieService cookie write and the Session lastActiveToken assignment,
deliver the user-facing guarantee on their own.

fix(clerk-js): Backport monotonic session token guard for Core 2
48ab952
Backport of #9030 to the Core 2 maintenance line.
Prevents a staler session token from overwriting a fresher one on the same
tab, protecting the __session cookie and the in-memory lastActiveToken.
Freshness is ranked by the JWT oiat header, then iat; tokens without oiat
pass through.
Core 2 predates the token-cache substrate the original built on (no
resolvedToken or baseline chaining and no background-refresh timers), so the
tokenCache rework and its tests are omitted. The two write-site guards, the
AuthCookieService cookie write and the Session lastActiveToken assignment,
deliver the user-facing guarantee on their own.

Why

Core 2 is still loaded into production apps, and it has the same bug #9030 fixed on main: a stale edge-minted session token (lower JWT oiat) can overwrite a fresher one on the same tab, clobbering the __session cookie or the in-memory lastActiveToken.
What changed

Ports the two write-site guards from #9030: the cookie-write guard in AuthCookieService and the lastActiveToken guard in Session, plus the tokenFreshness helpers they use. Freshness is ranked by the JWT oiat header, then iat; tokens without oiat pass through untouched. The tokenCache rework from #9030 (baseline/resolvedToken chaining, background-refresh timers) is left out on purpose: Core 2 predates that cache substrate, and the two guards deliver the guarantee on their own without pulling in unrelated features.
