" summary

Builds a dev.to custom connector from the API (converting OpenAPI where needed), configures API‑key security, imports request/response samples, and tests fetching articles filtered by org (Azure) — the call returns real posts. Packages the connector inside a Solution and wires it into a canvas app built with the Power Apps Creator Kit so a button invokes getArticles. Describes certifying and publishing via the Independent Publisher Connector Program so the connector can roll out to all tenants.
