Create API token

POST /api-token

Mints an org-scoped bearer token of the form `elch_{org_id}_{64 hex}`. The raw `token` appears in THIS response only and cannot be retrieved again — store it now; if it is lost, revoke it and mint another. The token acts as you, with your permissions resolved live, in this organization only. Requires `api_token:create` and an interactive human session (a token cannot mint another token), plus a fresh step-up reauthentication (`X-Step-Up-Token`, obtained from `/auth/step-up`) — minting a credential is what a stolen session would otherwise do to walk around every other step-up gate. Without one the call answers `428 step_up_required`.
