feat(auth0-server-js): add optional update() to SessionStore for atomic rolling-session writes

[Piyush-85]

Description

Adds an optional update?(identifier, stateData): Promise method to the SessionStore interface. When a session store implements it, StatefulStateStore calls update() instead of set() on rolling-session refreshes (existing session cookie, no removeIfExists). If update() resolves false — meaning the backing row no longer exists — the SDK returns early and suppresses the cookie refresh, preventing a concurrent logout from being silently undone by an in-flight rolling-session write. Stores that omit update() continue to work identically (fallback to get() + set()).

Fresh logins (removeIfExists: true) and brand-new sessions (no existing cookie) are unaffected — they always go through set() so session-fixation protection is preserved.

Testing

• Unit: 5 new tests in stateful-state-store.spec.ts covering:
  • update() is called (not set()) when the store supports it and a session cookie exists
  • Early return with no cookie refresh when update() resolves false
  • Fallback to set() when update() is absent
  • set() (not update()) is used for fresh logins (removeIfExists: true)
  • set() (not update()) is used when no session cookie exists
• npm test → 512/512 pass
• tsc --noEmit → no errors

Checklist

• Changes have test coverage
• No public-API breakage (interface extension, new optional member only)
• Backward-compatible: stores without update() behave exactly as before
• Targets main

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Improved session updates for existing logins by using atomic store operations when available.
  • Prevented session cookies from being rewritten when the underlying session no longer exists, helping avoid stale session restoration after concurrent logout.
  • Added compatibility fallback for session stores that do not support atomic updates.
  • Preserved session replacement behavior for fresh logins and explicit session renewals.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SessionStore adds optional atomic updates. StatefulStateStore.set() uses them for existing sessions, preserves fallback behavior, and avoids writing cookies when the row no longer exists. Tests cover existing, new, replacement, and concurrent logout cases.

Changes

Session update flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Atomic update contract and session flow packages/auth0-server-js/src/types.ts, packages/auth0-server-js/src/store/stateful-state-store.ts	SessionStore now supports optional atomic updates. Existing sessions use update() when available. New sessions, replacement sessions, and stores without update() use set().
Session flow validation packages/auth0-server-js/src/store/stateful-state-store.spec.ts	Tests cover atomic updates, failed updates, fallback behavior, fresh logins, and sessions without cookies.

The added session-flow tests cannot pass TypeScript checking until their mock generic signatures are corrected. This is a localized test-build issue with a straightforward fix.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use the Vitest 3 function-type generic.

vi.fn is bound to Vitest 3's fn<T extends Procedure = Procedure>(implementation?: T): Mock<T>, which accepts one generic parameter. These two-generic-argument calls fail when the included spec is type-checked.

- vi.fn<[string, StateData], Promise<boolean>>()
+ vi.fn<(identifier: string, stateData: StateData) => Promise<boolean>>()

- vi.fn<[string, StateData], Promise<void>>()
+ vi.fn<(identifier: string, stateData: StateData) => Promise<void>>()

- vi.fn<[string], Promise<void>>()
+ vi.fn<(identifier: string) => Promise<void>>()
