docs(profile): clarify identity diagnostics heading

- The canned TAT test token tripped the deterministic gate's
  public-content rule; switch to the recognized your-access-token
  placeholder (no assertion semantics change).
- Drop the implementation mechanisms from the lark-shared frontmatter
  description (WHAT only; the body owns HOW) and tighten the
  clear-session-identity routing entry.

 We recommend using the Lark/Feishu bot integrated with this tool as a private conversational assistant. Do not add it to group chats or allow other users to interact with it, to avoid abuse of permissions or data leakage.
 
+To reduce the security risks associated with access token theft, the CLI sends a minimal set of risk-control signals with OpenAPI requests made to exact official Feishu/Lark HTTPS domains. These signals are used to help identify anomalous API activity. This protection is enabled by default. The information sent is limited to:
+
+- Operating system type: macOS, Windows, or Linux
+- Device hardware model: for example, Mac17,9
+
+To disable this protection for the current workspace, run:
+
+```bash

+
+To enable this protection for the current workspace, run:
