Stacked on #4173 (diff includes it until that merges; will rebase after). Addresses the token-cache part of [Colin's review](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/pull/4173#issuecomment-5674048100). Adds an explicit, opt-in persistent OAuth token cache shared by Rust, Python, and Node clients, plus `login` / `status` / `logout` session APIs, so short-lived processes (CLIs, scripts, notebooks) reuse one session instead of restarting a browser or device flow on every start. - **Opt-in and minimal**: existing callers stay memory-only and lazy. Only refresh tokens are persisted (never access tokens, never client secrets), so there are no local token-expiry decisions to get wrong when clocks move. Each process start performs one silent refresh grant. - **Hardened file backend**: private directory (`0700`), per-record files (`0600`), owner validation, symlink rejection, and atomic `rename` replacement. Corrupt, truncated, unknown-version, or permission-invalid records fail with actionable errors naming the file. Native keyring backends were evaluated (keyring crate routes Linux through D-Bus/zbus: heavy deps, headless/CI flakiness) and are deferred; the file store is the explicit opt-in, not a downgrade from a keyring. - **Cache key**: SHA-256 of the canonical identity (issuer, client ID, sorted/de-duplicated scopes, flow, public/confidential), so no secret appears in a filename and distinct identities never collide. Versioned record schema (`version: 1`). One record per identity: last login wins, documented. - **Cross-process rotation locking**: per-key `fs4` file lock (`flock` / `LockFileEx`) around the refresh critical section — acquire, reread the durable record, refresh exactly once, atomically store the rotated refresh token, release. The OS releases locks on process death, so crashes cannot strand stale locks. Only confirmed `invalid_grant`/`invalid_token` deletes a record and reauthenticates; transport, 5xx, 429, and parse failures retain it. - **Session APIs**: `OAuthSession::login/status/logout` in Rust, `lancedb.remote.OAuthSession` (async) in Python, `OAuthSession` class in Node. `status` returns non-secret metadata only. `logout` removes only the local credential — provider revocation (RFC 7009) is a deliberate follow-up, and local logout never terminates browser SSO. Azure managed identity is rejected for persistence (machine identity stays in memory); client credentials have nothing refreshable to persist and stay memory-only. - No CLI binary exists in this repo, so this ships library APIs plus doc examples in all three languages. Tests: Rust unit + mock-IdP integration (cache-key canonicalization/separation, record versioning/corruption/truncation/symlink/owner/perms, lock serialization + release, two concurrent providers proving no `invalid_grant` and correct rotation, transient-failure retention, `invalid_grant` delete + reauthenticate, login/status/logout lifecycle, client-credentials no-op, IMDS rejection, secret redaction); Python lifecycle + a true two-subprocess cross-process reuse test (second process refreshes once, never hits the device endpoint); Node lifecycle + device-flow login test. Local builds were skipped in development; CI validates all bindings. --------- Co-authored-by: Xuanwo <github@xuanwo.io>
