Summary
The auth docs should explain owner-scoped resources and why tests must cover cross-owner access failures.
Problem
The current documentation is either missing a critical explanation, outdated, or fragmented across too many places.
Where to update
docs/api-authentication.md, docs/API.mdExpected outcome
A contributor should be able to complete this update with a focused documentation PR and leave the surrounding docs easier to follow.
Acceptance criteria
Verification
Review the changed docs against the current code paths or scripts they describe and spot-check any commands or file references.
Additional context
Prefer precise edits over broad rewrites unless the referenced section is already structurally broken.
