## Risk Assessment
### High Risk
**1. Third-party auth provider outage**
- **Mitigation**: Implement fallback to email/password
- **Fallback**: Graceful degradation with user notification
### Medium Risk
**2. Token refresh race conditions**
- **Mitigation**: Mutex lock on refresh, queue pending requests
- **Fallback**: Force re-login on conflict
