Pull request overview
This PR strengthens Hydra/OAuth2 documentation around refresh token rotation by explicitly warning that “graceful refresh token rotation” is a workaround with security/latency tradeoffs, and by expanding troubleshooting guidance for refresh-token flow failures. It also adjusts Makefile targets related to formatting and license checks.
Changes:
- Add a prominent warning box to the graceful refresh token rotation guide explaining why it’s a workaround and what it weakens.
- Rework/expand the “Refresh Token flow fails” troubleshooting section with concrete client-side failure modes and mitigations.
- Update Makefile dependencies/targets for Prettier, licenses, and Go CLI build.

In `@Makefile`:
- Around line 45-46: The Makefile target `.bin/licenses` currently pipes remote
content into sh which is unsafe; change it to download a pinned installer (use
the raw URL with a specific commit hash instead of master) into a temporary
file, verify its integrity (e.g., compare a checked-in SHA256 or verify a GPG
signature), make it executable, and then run that local file; update the
`.bin/licenses` recipe to perform curl -o to save the file, validate the
checksum/signature, and only then execute the saved installer to avoid executing
mutable remote content directly.
