# Frontend auth provider clears tokens on any non-403 error including network failures
**Severity:** high
**Domain:** Authentication
**Labels:** bug, frontend, session
## Description
`src/auth/context/jwt/auth-provider.tsx:85` clears tokens and logs out the user on any error from the session-check call, including transient network failures and 5xx server errors. A momentary connectivity issue or backend restart silently logs out all active users.
## Options
1. Clear only on 401/403; treat 5xx and network errors as transient (keep tokens, retry).
2. Clear on 401/403 plus explicit invalid-token responses; keep tokens for everything else.
3. Add retry/backoff before deciding to clear.
## Recommendation
Clear tokens only on 401/403; on network/5xx errors keep the session and retry. Confirm acceptable retry behavior and UX with owner.
