chore(docs): document immutable OIDC subject claim

GitHub made the OIDC `sub` claim immutable for repositories created on
github.com on or after 2026-04-23 (and older repos that opt in). The claim
now appends the numeric org and repository IDs after each name, separated by
`@`, e.g. `repo:org@123456/repo@789012:ref:refs/heads/main`.

Closes #1888.

+#### Immutable subject claims
+
+Repositories created on github.com on or after 15 July 2026, and older
+repositories that have opted in, emit an [immutable `sub` claim][immutable-sub].
+This claim appends the permanent numeric ID of the organization and of the
+repository after each name, separated by `@`, so that a recycled org or
+repository name cannot be used to mint tokens matching a stale trust policy.
+For example:
+
+```text
+# Legacy (mutable) sub claim
+repo:octo-org/octo-repo:ref:refs/heads/main
+
+# Immutable sub claim
+repo:octo-org@123456/octo-repo@789012:ref:refs/heads/main
+```
+
+If your trust policy matches the legacy name-only form and your repository emits
+the immutable claim, `AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity` fails with `Not authorized to
+perform sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity`. To fix this, update the `sub` condition
+to the immutable form. You can find your repository's prefix in the Settings,
+or by following the token inspection steps below.
