Expand bambu-connect://] to a full API

This really needs to be expanded to a full API.

The 3d printing community needs to adopt security. Non-authenticated/ on-secured communications are dangerous, particularly with device that can consume power, get worn out or damaged, or even (if a malicious actor tried hard enough) potentially cause a fire. (Yes, your device seems protected well against this, but malicious actors are relentless…)

As a consumer, (a software development professional, and as someone with some business experience involving security): II want prevention of malicious actor access.,. I want (safe and secure) access to all of my printer’s capability,

This needs a well-designed secure API. You have elected bambu-connect:// as the mechanism. This mechanism of protocol management through the OS appears to be very secure - if implemented correctly, of course. This API needs to be publicly shown, and ideally commented//reviewed//improved by the community. (A link off the Bambu Connect wiki would help make this findable).

Sharing this API publicly would also go a long way to easing the customers and the community’s concerns with the security update. An excellent first-start would be to create a webpage, and list the functionalities you are considering with and indication of your current intent (implement, don’t implement, etc.)
