docs(enrollment): explain instant access for existing org members
Learners who are already Community-Access org members (prior cohort, facilitator role, etc.) get instant repo access with no invitation email, so the standard "watch for an invitation" guidance leaves them stuck. Add the same clarification to the enrollment success comment and the Get Going guide. Surfaced by support#62. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
