Publish a connection revision

POST /v1/connections/{connection_id}/revisions/{revision_id}:publish · permission connections:write

Makes a draft revision the live configuration of an enterprise connection. In one step the revision's material replaces the live one:

SAML: the identity provider's entity ID, SSO and SLO URLs, and the revision's signing certificates;
OIDC: the client fields and, if the revision carries one, the new client secret;
SP host migration: the SP host and the SP URLs. The previous host keeps answering for 30 more days, then returns 404.

The revision needs a passed test sign-in of that revision from the last 24 hours: start one with Test a connection and revision_id, and finish it in the browser. Testing the live configuration does not count.

Publishing a revision that is already published writes nothing and returns 200 with already_published: true; of two concurrent publications only one writes. The publication is audited as connection.revision_published.

There is no request body (send none or {}), and no If-Match: a revision has no version. If the live configuration changed after the draft was made, publication is refused and you make a new draft.
