Anthropic subscription users authenticate via OAuth, not an API key.

The provider types that inject ANTHROPIC_API_KEY reference console.anthropic.com, but the docs never mention this, leaving subscription users with a silent dead-end.

Adds a <Note> callout in two places:

  • Provider type table in the manage-providers guide
  • Quickstart guide where ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is first mentioned

Related Issue: Closes #620

… not a subscription

Anthropic subscription users authenticate via OAuth, not an API key,
causing a silent failure when creating the provider. Adds a Note callout
in the provider type table and quickstart guide directing subscription
users to generate an API key from console.anthropic.com.

Closes NVIDIA#620

For now, you can generate preview locally using fern docs dev and then http://localhost:3000/openshell/sandboxes/manage-providers

I just noticed that docs preview doesn't work for forked PRs, I will fix that.

I'm also surprised that our Markdown linting didn't catch this, I will take a look at this as well.
