Summary

Clarify that a Terminal49 API key's full value is only shown once, right after creation, and give readers a concrete recovery path.

Changes

  • api-docs/getting-started/start-here.mdx: added a warning under "Get an API key" telling readers to copy and store the full token before navigating away, and to create a replacement key if the original was not captured.
  • api-docs/api-reference/introduction.mdx: expanded the Authentication section to spell out the exact header format expectations (no Bearer, no quotes, no whitespace), explain what a 401 Unauthorized "API key could not be verified" response means, and repeat the one-time-visibility warning.

Context

Multiple recent assistant conversations came in from users who could not find the full API key value in the developer portal (the value they saw was masked) and from users hitting 401-style verification errors. The docs did not previously mention that the full key is only revealed at creation time, or how to recover if it was not captured.
