@@ -206,9 +206,62 @@ ATCR uses middleware and routing to handle requests:
 - Implements `distribution.Repository`
 - Returns custom `Manifests()` and `Blobs()` implementations
 - Routes manifests to ATProto, blobs to S3 or BYOS
+- **IMPORTANT**: RoutingRepository is created fresh on EVERY request (no caching)
+  - Each Docker layer upload is a separate HTTP request (possibly different process)
+  - OAuth sessions can be refreshed/invalidated between requests
+  - The OAuth refresher already caches sessions efficiently (in-memory + DB)
+  - Previous caching of repositories with stale ATProtoClient caused "invalid refresh token" errors
 
 ### Authentication Architecture
 
+#### Token Types and Flows
+
+ATCR uses three distinct token types in its authentication flow:
+
+**1. OAuth Tokens (Access + Refresh)**
+- **Issued by:** User's PDS via OAuth flow
+- **Stored in:** AppView database (`oauth_sessions` table)
+- **Cached in:** Refresher's in-memory map (per-DID)
+- **Used for:** AppView → User's PDS communication (write manifests, read profiles)
+- **Managed by:** Indigo library with DPoP (automatic refresh)
+- **Lifetime:** Access ~2 hours, Refresh ~90 days (PDS controlled)
+
+**2. Registry JWTs**
+- **Issued by:** AppView after OAuth login
+- **Stored in:** Docker credential helper (`~/.atcr/credential-helper-token.json`)
+- **Used for:** Docker client → AppView authentication
+- **Lifetime:** 15 minutes (configurable via `ATCR_TOKEN_EXPIRATION`)
+- **Format:** JWT with DID claim
+
+**3. Service Tokens**
+- **Issued by:** User's PDS via `com.atproto.server.getServiceAuth`
+- **Stored in:** AppView memory (in-memory cache with ~50s TTL)
+- **Used for:** AppView → Hold service authentication (acting on behalf of user)
+- **Lifetime:** 60 seconds (PDS controlled), cached for 50s
+- **Required:** OAuth session to obtain (catch-22 solved by Refresher)

-   - `RedirectURI()` - returns `baseURL + "/auth/oauth/callback"`
-   - `GetDefaultScopes()` - returns ATCR registry scopes
-   - `GetConfigRef()` - returns mutable config for `SetClientSecret()` calls

+   - **Session management (Refresher):**
+     - `NewRefresher()` - Creates session cache manager for AppView
+     - **Purpose:** In-memory cache for `*oauth.ClientSession` objects (performance optimization)
+     - **Why needed:** Saves 1-2 DB queries per request (~2ms) with minimal code complexity
+     - Per-DID locking prevents concurrent database loads
+     - Calls `ClientApp.ResumeSession()` on cache miss
+     - Indigo handles token refresh automatically (transparent to ATCR)
+     - **Performance:** Essential for high-traffic deployments, negligible for low-traffic
+   - **Architecture:** Single file containing both ClientApp helpers and Refresher (combined from previous two-file structure)
