Updates the Client credentials section to accurately describe what content is returned from /authed/mcp when using client credentials.

Before: "return the same content as an authenticated user with access to all pages."

Sometimes: "return all content from public pages and authenticated pages that aren't scoped to specific groups."

Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change that corrects expectations for what /authed/mcp returns when using client credentials; no runtime or API behavior is modified.

Overview
Clarifies the client credentials documentation for MCP to state that tokens against /authed/mcp return public content plus authenticated content not scoped to specific groups, rather than implying access to all authenticated pages.
