Summary

  • add a short note near the PAT-based ARC quickstart example
  • recommend GitHub App authentication for repository- and organization-level runners
  • link readers to the existing ARC authentication guidance
  • clarify that enterprise-level runners still require PAT classic authentication

Why

Issue #37288 points out that the quickstart currently highlights a PAT-based setup even though the docs already support GitHub App authentication. This keeps the quickstart small while guiding readers to the recommended authentication path where supported.

Testing

  • content-only change
  • verified the wording against the existing ARC authentication docs
