Pull request overview
Updates documentation links for creating fine-grained GitHub PATs so they open the token creation page with pre-filled name/description and commonly required permissions, reducing setup friction and configuration errors.
Changes:
- Added/updated fine-grained PAT creation links across reference and pattern docs to include pre-filled URL parameters (name/description/permissions).
- Introduced multiple pre-filled PAT links for central orchestration tokens in
central-repo-ops.mdx. - Updated
auth.mdxlink text to accurately describe the pre-filled parameters.
