Per-VU auth tokens + refresh
Auth, sessions & uploadsEach VU mints a token the first time it needs one, attaches it to every request, and transparently re-mints it just before expiry — with a custom token_refreshes counter tracking how often. Swap the synthetic mint for a call to your auth server.

# Per-VU auth tokens with automatic refresh — Artillery's `generating-vu-tokens`
# + `refresh-auth-token` in one place.
#
# Each VU mints its own token the first time it needs one (scripts/auth.js,
# beforeRequest hook), attaches it to every request, and silently re-mints it
# just before it expires. A custom `token_refreshes` counter tracks how often
# that happens. Swap the synthetic mint() for a real call to your auth server.
