What's New in the Auth0 Session and Token Guide: Token Vault and Session Delegation

I've folded four separate follow-up posts into Auth0 Session and Token Management: Every Option Explained instead of leaving them scattered as bolted-on updates at the bottom. The guide now covers eleven areas instead of nine, with three new diagrams and two use cases worth building around rather than working around.

The two headline additions are Token Vault, for calling a third-party API like Google Calendar or GitHub on a user's behalf without your application ever touching that provider's password, and Session Delegation, the paved path for the "log in as this customer" button every support team eventually builds - audited to the agent's own sub, time-boxed to two hours, with an act claim naming exactly who delegated it. Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication and the Device Authorization Grant get their own section too, covering call-centre approvals on a device the user already owns versus headless clients like smart TVs and CLI tools that start from nothing.

The stacking table at the bottom has three new rows for these patterns, and the four deep-dive posts behind them are all linked inline now rather than sitting in an appendix a reader has to scroll past.
