+### Updater authentication
+
+The `X-Update-Secret` header (or the `?secret=` query param) carries one of
+two credentials, selected by `update_secret_source` — the modes are
+exclusive, the endpoint never accepts both:
+
+- **`:env`** (default): the single shared secret from `update_secret`.
+- **`:database`**: `WarpEngine::ApplicationToken` records. Each token
+  belongs to an owner (the class named by `application_token_owner_class`,
+  e.g. `AdminUser`), carries a free-form scope list — `/update` requires the
+  `"update"` scope — and an optional expiry. Tokens are created in the admin
+  (*App Tokens*): the plain token is generated server-side and shown exactly
+  once after creation; only its SHA256 digest is stored. Deleting a token in
+  the admin revokes it (soft delete), and `last_used_at` records when each
+  token last authenticated successfully.
+
+When switching to `:database`, create the tokens and move your pipelines to
+them first — the flip invalidates the shared secret immediately.
