Description

_Describe the issue here._

The CLI example to regenerate a token reads:
influxdb3 create token --admin \
--regenerate
OPERATOR_TOKEN

This is incomplete. The correct command must include the --token flag like so:
influxdb3 create token --admin --regenerate --token OPERATOR_TOKEN

Also, it is not explicitly clear that OPERATOR_TOKEN is a user supplied token string of the previous operator token.

I found this fix here:
https://[docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/enterprise/admin/tokens/admin/regenerate/index.md](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/enterprise/admin/tokens/admin/regenerate/index.md)

Research direction

Start at the core admin token documentation linked in the issue and compare its regeneration example with the enterprise index.md example cited. Update the command to include --token and clarify that OPERATOR_TOKEN is the user-supplied previous operator token; done means the example and explanation are accurate and consistent.
