Issues remain status:open intentionally — the code fixes are uncommitted-then-committed
working-tree changes per repo and aren't "resolved" until merged/deployed.

# Frontend: token refresh queue dispatches with undefined Authorization header
**Severity:** medium
**Domain:** Authentication
**Labels:** bug, frontend, session
## Description
`src/lib/axios.ts:136` flushes queued requests after a refresh attempt unconditionally. When the refresh yields no token (expired session, network error), queued requests are dispatched with `Authorization: Bearer undefined`, which backend middleware treats as an invalid token, causing all queued requests to fail with 401 — but no logout or error surfacing occurs.
## Options
1. On no token: reject queued requests (fail fast) and trigger logout/redirect.
2. Skip the `forEach` when `newAccessToken` is falsy and let requests retry later.
3. Move the `forEach` inside the `if(newAccessToken)` guard and reject the queue in the `else` branch.
## Recommendation
Move flush inside the token guard and explicitly reject queued callbacks so they error rather than retry with `'Bearer undefined'`.
