connector.connected
The creator connected an installation with their credentials; the connector can act for the project now.
When this fires
A creator completes a connector's connect flow on the dashboard: the connector checks the credentials, registers with its platform and the installation turns connected. For the first connector this is the Connect Bot modal, the platform bot's connectivity conversation and a Disaster Recovery bot replacement.
Required ability
project-connector:view — token must carry this at mint time to subscribe an endpoint to this event.

Caveats
- Credentials are never in the payload. Read the installation back with
GET /v1/projects/{project}/connectors/{key}/installation. - Reconnecting with new credentials fires this again for the same
installation_id.
