Document the positive integer constraint.

The API contract requires repoIds to contain positive integer Repo.id values. The text says only integer, so it does not document the positive constraint. State positive integer explicitly.

Suggested wording 
-Call `GET /api/repos` to find the integer `id` for each repository you want to include.
+Call `GET /api/repos` to find the positive integer `Repo.id` for each repository you want to include.

In `@docs/docs/api-reference/authentication.mdx` around lines 42 - 48, Update the
scoped access token documentation to state that each repoIds entry must be a
positive integer Repo.id, replacing the current generic “integer” wording while
preserving the surrounding request instructions.

The response contains an opaque token beginning with `sbst_`. It expires exactly one hour after issuance, cannot be refreshed, and is returned only once. Use it as a Bearer token with public API endpoints or the Sourcebot MCP server:
The response includes the scoped access token and its ID:

```json
{
"id": "scoped-token-id",
"token": "sbst_...",
"createdAt": "2026-08-14T18:00:00.000Z",
"expiresAt": "2026-08-14T19:00:00.000Z",
"repoIds": [1, 2, 3]
}
```

The opaque token begins with `sbst_`. It expires exactly one hour after issuance, cannot be refreshed, and is returned only once. Use it as a Bearer token with public API endpoints or the Sourcebot MCP server:

```bash
Authorization: Bearer <your-scoped-access-token>
```

Save the `id` from the create response. Use it to revoke the token with your Sourcebot API key:

```bash
curl -X DELETE https://your-sourcebot-instance.com/api/ee/scoped_access_token/<scoped-token-id> \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>"
```

Repository scope is bound internally to repository IDs and is also intersected with the creating user's current repository permissions. Creating and revoking scoped access tokens requires an API key; a scoped access token cannot mint or revoke tokens.
