summary:

  - bearer
model: >-
  Single personal access token per account, passed as an HTTP Bearer token in
  the Authorization header on every request. Tokens carry the `mat_` prefix and
  grant full read/write access to the owner's library. Only one token is active
  at a time — generating or regenerating immediately revokes the previous token.
  There are no OAuth flows, refresh tokens, or scopes. Every request also
  requires an active Matter Pro subscription (403 pro_required otherwise).
