Update preview URL token format for DNS compliance

Updated Sandbox SDK documentation to reflect the DNS-compliant token
format change from PR #247. Preview URL tokens now use only lowercase
alphanumeric characters and hyphens (RFC 952/1123 compliant) instead
of including underscores.

Changes:
- Updated URL format examples to include 16-character tokens
- Added migration note about breaking change in SDK v0.5.4+
- Clarified token security characteristics
- Updated all code examples with correct URL format

This is a breaking change - existing preview URLs with underscores
will stop working after SDK upgrade. Users must call exposePort()
again to get new DNS-compliant URLs.

+The token is a 16-character random string containing only lowercase alphanumeric characters and hyphens, ensuring DNS compliance with RFC 952/1123 hostname requirements.
+
 Preview URLs remain stable while a port is exposed and can be shared during that time. However, if you unexpose and re-expose a port, a new random token is generated and the URL changes. For persistent URLs, keep ports exposed for the duration you need them accessible.
 
+:::note[Token format change - SDK v0.5.4+]
+Starting in SDK version 0.5.4, preview URL tokens use only DNS-valid characters (RFC 952/1123 compliant). Tokens generated by earlier versions containing underscores are automatically migrated when you access the sandbox. This is a breaking change - old preview URLs with underscores will stop working after upgrade. Call `exposePort()` again to get new DNS-compliant URLs.

 ## ID Case Sensitivity
 
 Preview URLs extract the sandbox ID from the hostname to route requests. Since hostnames are case-insensitive (per RFC 3986), they're always lowercased: `8080-MyProject-123.yourdomain.com` becomes `8080-myproject-123.yourdomain.com`.
