AWS CDK not deploying API Gateway change (EDGE to REGIONAL)

I'm experimenting with AWS CDK by converting a console-developed application (just API Gateway and Lambdas for now). All is well--I can hit the API's resources and methods and the appropriate lambdas get executed.

I'm trying to understand what triggers a deployment (and what doesn't). For example, if I try to change the API's endpoint type from the default (EDGE) to REGIONAL:

const api = new apigateway.RestApi(this, "cy-max-api", {      restApiName: "CY Max Service",      description: "CDK version of Max AWS demo app.",      endpointConfiguration: [EndpointType.REGIONAL] // <-- add only this line and deploy  });  

and deploy (cdk deploy), nothing is deployed (I checked the logs, console says no stack changes). I even tried forcing the deploy (cdk deploy -f)--no joy.

I suspect this is the expected behavior, but would like to understand why this change doesn't trigger a deploy (and what would be necessary to force one).
