📄 Description

Description

Replaces generic "API key" with specific "service key" or "PAT" terminology across LangSmith docs where the distinction matters for permissions. The main confusion was in pages like the permissions reference table and RBAC role descriptions, where "API key" was used for operations that only apply to service keys, right next to separate PAT rows.

Resolves DOC-572

Test Plan

  • Verify in preview deployment that updated pages render correctly, especially the permissions table in organization-workspace-operations
