Token expired, and reauth not requested.

There is a problem with the Authentik agent, where there is no way to trigger a re-auth without doing a re-setup. This can lead to odd problems when the agent starts. This was captured after I logged into my laptop. It's connected to ak-sysd and ak-agent. The agent didn't start with my laptop because I wasn't connected to the network at the time. Manually starting the agent results in this recurrently until the process is CTRL+C'ed

It would be nice for the agent to prompt for re-auth rather than displaying this for ages. Especially if clicking on the agent icon in the tray could trigger the re-auth process to the previously configured URL, that would be a much better user experience.

I am currently running ak-agent version 0.40.2-f9c6ccee installed from the repository I believe.

I should add to this that a re-authentication through the same setup process does work as expected:

This also seems like it might be a related thing:

WARN[0000] failed to get device token                    error="rpc error: code = Unknown desc = HTTP Error '403 Forbidden' during request 'POST /api/v3/endpoints/agents/connectors/auth_fed/': \"{\"detail\":\"Authentication credentials were not provided.\"}\"" logger=auth.device
Error: ssh: handshake failed: failed to exchange token

This leads to an issue where SSH doesn't work after you let your laptop go to sleep, and it probably requires a re-auth too.
