There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would say my notes only need addressing IF you anticipate the refresh job being cancelled/cancellable. From what I can tell, since we use a result class for the network call, the job shouldn't get cancelled from any failures, so isActive should always be true, but...

This PR implements background refresh for both JWKS and RBAC policy caches to reduce latency. '
The RBAC PolicyCache now uses a 1-hour TTL (up from 5 minutes) with coroutine-based background refresh that proactively updates the policy every hour. We're standardizing on 1-hour TTL for our caches across the Stytch SDKs.
For JWKS caching, a new JwksCache factory helper was created that configures jose4j's HttpsJwks with a 1-hour cache duration and 5-minute refresh threshold for automatic background refresh.
