Namespace: CXT.IO.Dashboard.Api.ServicesSource File: IJwtAccessTokenService.cs

Defines the contract for services responsible for acquiring JWT (JSON Web Token) access tokens.

Purpose

• To abstract the mechanism of token acquisition, making it easier to mock for testing or replace the implementation.
• To provide a simple, standardized way for other services to obtain bearer tokens for authenticating server-to-server calls to downstream APIs.
