Closes ag2ai#2749. Add a dedicated docs page (`getting-started/subscription/concurrency.md`) that walks through how `max_workers` and RabbitMQ's `prefetch_count` control concurrency, how they combine, and what `prefetch_count=N` actually means (broker-side flow control, not "N processed at once"). Cross-references the existing Kafka subscriber notes and links the new page from the navigation template. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
