  summary: Create a WebSocket API, add an integration, and wire the $connect route to it.
  description: >-
    The Amazon API Gateway V2 build flow for a WebSocket API. The workflow
    creates a WebSocket-protocol API with a route selection expression, creates a
    backend integration, and wires the $connect route to that integration so
    clients can establish connections. Because createApi collides with the V1
    description it is addressed through the V2 source. Every step spells out its
    request inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the
    underlying OpenAPI description.
