## Summary

config_flow.py defines a reconfigure step

## Why

Reconfigure lets users update integration settings (e.g. host, port, API key) without removing and re-adding the integration. Note: this rule uses AST inspection and cannot detect methods inherited from a base class.

## Status behavior

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Category | modern_ha_patterns |
| Severity | recommended |
| Overridable | True |
| Version | 1.0.0 |
