Send `{"data": {"token": "..."}}` as the first WebSocket message before it expires; the connection then behaves exactly like an API-key connection (channels come from the key's scopes at connect time, and the connection outlives the token). Daemons that hold the key can skip this endpoint and connect with `{"data": {"apiKey": "..."}}` directly. Requires a key with at least one realtime-capable scope.
