Round-trip a provider credentials check

Validates the server-side credentials for the named provider. CSV has no credentials and always returns ok=true. Plaid hits /institutions/get with a tiny payload; Teller validates the stored cert/key pair (file path or in-memory PEM) against crypto/tls.

A reachable server with bad credentials still returns 200 with ok=false and a human-readable message, so CLI agents can branch on the JSON without parsing status codes.

Requires full_access scope.

Authorizations

X-API-Key · string · header · required

Breadbox API key with format bb_<base62>. Carries either read_only or full_access scope. Write endpoints (and a handful of sensitive reads — /api-keys, /users/{user_id}/login) require full_access; endpoints that require it are flagged in their description.
