## What
Shorten the `title` frontmatter on 20 docs pages so that the rendered
`<title>` tag stays within the 70-character SEO limit.
The root layout appends ` | ZITADEL Docs` (15 chars) to every page
title, meaning the raw frontmatter `title` must be ≤ 55 characters. A
site scan flagged all 20 pages for the "Title too long" warning (titles
ranged from 71 to 92 characters in the final rendered tag).
## Why
Search engines may truncate or ignore `<title>` tags longer than 70
characters, hurting click-through rates and keyword relevance in search
results.
## How
Each title was rewritten to:
- Fit within 55 characters (leaving room for ` | ZITADEL Docs`)
- Front-load the primary search keyword (product name, protocol, or
feature)
- Include "ZITADEL" where users realistically search for `{feature}
ZITADEL`
- Avoid generic filler words ("Configure", "Set up", "Support for")
All 20 files already have a `sidebar_label` field that preserves the
original descriptive title for sidebar navigation — no navigation
changes result from this PR.

Build Process
The docs build process automatically handling the following steps via generate:
- Downloads required protoc plugins.
- Generates gRPC documentation from proto files.
- Generates API documentation from OpenAPI specs.
- Generates index files for directory structures.
Style Guide
- Variables: Use environment variables in code snippets where possible.
- Embedded Content: Use
_filename.mdxfor content embedded in other pages (not indexed individually). - Code Embedding: Use the
fileproperty in code blocks to embed code from the repo. - Voice: Use active voice and sentence case for titles.
Refer to the Google Developer Style Guide for general guidelines.
Adding Content
