  summary: Create an action group, read it back, and send a test notification to validate its receivers.
  description: >-
    The action-group validation flow. The workflow creates or updates an action
    group with an email receiver, reads the group back to confirm it, and then
    sends a test notification to validate that the configured receivers can be
    reached. Every step spells out its ARM request body inline so the flow can be
    read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
