Refresh Logic Correct and Complete | Generated by AI

Yes, the refresh logic is already in place. _get_credentials() at line 124–125:

# Refresh or get new credentials
if credentials and credentials.expired and credentials.refresh_token:
    credentials.refresh(Request())

The full flow works as described in the answer:

  1. Load cached token from ~/.google/youtube_upload_token.json
  2. Refresh automatically if expired and a refresh_token exists
  3. Fall back to browser OAuth if no valid token exists
  4. Save the (possibly refreshed) token back to disk after every auth cycle (line 145–146)

No changes needed — the refresh logic is correct and complete.
