Documents the connector type argument of WP_Connector_Registry::register(), following comment:4 and comment:7 on the ticket: type is free-form and may be shared; what core does differently for 'ai_provider' (not registered when wp_supports_ai() is false, key checked with the AI Client on save and cleared if invalid, passed to the AI Client, which also decides whether it is connected); how other types behave; and that the type is part of the default setting_name. Each statement was checked against connectors.php and class-wp-connector-registry.php.
