Pair Device
Pairing links a phone or a second machine to your Arble installation. It is what makes desktop control, mobile notifications and cross-device sessions possible.
What pairing actually grants
A pairing issues a device token scoped to that one device. The token is the only credential the desktop and mobile endpoints accept, and it grants nothing on its own — each capability still passes the permission gate.
Pair a device

Revocation takes effect on the next call. Revoke immediately if a device is lost — the token lives in that device's keychain, not in your account.
