Research direction
Investigate common approaches to token revocation such as using a blocklist or short lived tokens with refresh tokens. Look at the existing tutorial structure in the repository (e.g., README.md and any other documentation files) and add a new section explaining the pros and cons of each method. Reference resources like Auth0 or RFC standards for token revocation. Provide examples in JavaScript or Node.js.
