        Email address and password. A personal access token (`pat_…`) or session
        token (`token-…`) may also be sent in the password field, with any
        non-empty value as the username — a blank username short-circuits to a
        401 before the token is read.

      description: >-
        A personal access token: `Authorization: Bearer pat_…`. Create one under
        Preferences → API Tokens, or with `POST /personal-access-tokens`. The
        token acts as its owner, with their full permissions.
