Some people use nail varnish, automotive filler or what i think would be the best solution would be epoxy. Sendhit do a specific stantion repair kit but just some black two part epoxy would be just as good, luckily yours isnt Kashima coated so you wont be able to tell if you use black epoxy.
Could use nail varnish to seal the chip. Sand it down then use some metal polish to get it flush. There are some vids out there that will show you how.

My LBS told me their renthal bikes have that kind of scratches, even worse ones, and their fork had no issues.
I’ve been riding my scratched stanchion for a year since that conversation and I didn’t feel any degraded performance or spotted any leak.

I fix those using enamel paint. I fill it with enough coats so it stands proud, then use 2000 wet sanding paper to make it perfect.
You don’t really need to fix those though. Just make sure you do your 50h service on time to clear the crud that might make it inside because of the scratch.
