Description

See https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/31768 for background. We'd like to help people to move away from the WebMvc- and WebFlux-specific @RestControllerEndpoint and @ControllerEndpoint by making it easier to register functional web endpoints with Actuator. They would be automatically mapped beneath /actuator and move to the separate management server when it's running on a different port.

Research direction

Start with the background in issue #31768 and compare the existing @RestControllerEndpoint and @ControllerEndpoint approaches. Define what support for functional web endpoints in Actuator must provide, including automatic /actuator mapping and placement on a separate management server when configured; completion should cover both behaviors.
