What article on docs.github.com is affected?
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
Reading the helm values for the gha-runner-scale-set chart, the helm chart supports authenticating via github app, which is a more secure and production grade method of configuring ARC than using a user's personal access token.
The docs should be updated to nudge people towards the more proper way of doing things.
Additional information
I know github is trying to phase out classic PATs so it was unexpected to see official docs instructing to use a PAT, especially when other methods are supported.
