Subject: [PATCH] CONSOLE-5196: Refresh admin auth between packages to prevent
 session expiry
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Auth storageState is created once at test start. On CI with 300+ tests
and 2 workers (~50 min runtime), the OAuth session can expire mid-run,
causing every subsequent test to fail with an OAuth redirect in warmupSPA.

Chain auth refresh projects between every package so each package starts
with a fresh token:

  admin-auth → smoke → refresh-1 → console → refresh-2 → dev-console → ...

Each refresh project reuses admin-auth.setup.ts (no new setup file needed).
Every package gets fresh auth regardless of how many tests any individual
package has. Scales automatically as packages are added. Overhead is
~35s total (7 refreshes × ~5s each).
