  summary: Register a backend, read it back, then trigger a reconnect.
  description: >-
    Registers a backend service that APIs can route to. The workflow creates or
    updates the backend with a URL and protocol, reads it back to confirm the
    settings, then triggers a reconnect so the gateway establishes a fresh
    connection. Every step spells out its request inline so the flow can be read
    and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
