Vishesh 'ironeagle' Bangotra 4e63c36199 refactor(auth): type auth providers and decouple Google auth from disk storage
- Make MailIntakeAuthProvider generic over credential type to enforce
  typed auth contracts between providers and adapters
- Refactor Google OAuth provider to use CredentialStore abstraction
  instead of filesystem-based pickle persistence
- Remove node-local state assumptions from Google auth implementation
- Clarify documentation to distinguish credential lifecycle from
  credential persistence responsibilities

This change enables distributed-safe authentication providers and
allows multiple credential persistence strategies without modifying
auth logic.

"""
Redis-backed credential persistence for Mail Intake.
This module provides a Redis-based implementation of the
``CredentialStore`` abstraction, enabling credential persistence
across distributed and horizontally scaled deployments.
The Redis credential store is designed for environments where
authentication credentials must be shared safely across multiple
processes, containers, or nodes, such as container orchestration
platforms and microservice architectures.
Key characteristics:
- Distributed-safe, shared storage using Redis
- Explicit, caller-defined serialization and deserialization
- No reliance on unsafe mechanisms such as pickle
- Optional time-to-live (TTL) support for automatic credential expiry
This module is responsible solely for persistence concerns.
Credential validation, refresh, rotation, and acquisition remain the
responsibility of authentication provider implementations.

"""
Redis-backed implementation of ``CredentialStore``.
This store persists credentials in Redis and is suitable for
distributed and horizontally scaled deployments where credentials
must be shared across multiple processes or nodes.
The store is intentionally generic and delegates all serialization
concerns to caller-provided functions. This avoids unsafe mechanisms
such as pickle and allows credential formats to be explicitly
controlled and audited.
This class is responsible only for persistence and retrieval.
It does not interpret, validate, refresh, or otherwise manage
the lifecycle of the credentials being stored.

Initialize a Redis-backed credential store.
Args:
redis_client:
An initialized Redis client instance (for example,
``redis.Redis`` or a compatible interface) used to

Callers are responsible for applying appropriate
namespacing to avoid collisions.

A callable that converts a credential object of type
``T`` into a ``bytes`` representation suitable for
storage in Redis.
deserialize:
A callable that converts a ``bytes`` payload retrieved
from Redis back into a credential object of type ``T``.

Optional time-to-live (TTL) for the stored credentials,
expressed in seconds. When provided, Redis will
automatically expire the stored credentials after the
