I wasn't able to find a direct answer about manually generating or defining a PAT token format for ZITADEL_SERVICE_USER_TOKENZITADEL_SERVICE_USER_TOKEN, here are some relevant sources:

Creating initial data using the API : When you create an instance with a machine user, you get a PAT which is a ready-to-use access token that's written to a path defined in the FirstInstance configuration.
