  There is no test-vs-live separation to capture, because there is no live/paid
  mode: the production API is itself free, keyless and side-effect free, so every
  call is already a safe rehearsal. What AsyncAPI does publish is a hosted
  console and a local one, which is what the console_or_sandbox check is actually
  asking about. No test credentials, cards or magic values exist to record, and
  none were invented.
test_live_separation:
  exists: false
  detail: One environment, no keys, no modes. See authentication/asyncapi-authentication.yml

      Browser editor and visualiser for AsyncAPI documents with live validation,
      template preview and conversion. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
  - name: AsyncAPI Studio (local)
    kind: console
    install: asyncapi start studio [SPEC-FILE]
    detail: Runs the same Studio locally against a file on disk.
  - name: Studio preview (minimal)
    kind: console
    install: asyncapi start preview SPEC-FILE
  - name: Server API interactive reference
    kind: reference
    url: https://api.asyncapi.com/v1/docs
    detail: Redoc rendering of the live OpenAPI at /v1/docs/openapi.yaml.
  - name: Self-hosted Server API
    kind: sandbox
    install: docker run -it -p 80:80 asyncapi/server-api
    package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@asyncapi/server-api
    detail: >-
      Run the whole API locally when you do not want to send documents to a
      third-party host. This is the closest thing to a sandbox the project ships,
      and it is the FULL service, not a reduced one.
fixtures:
  published: false
  detail: >-
    No fixture or trigger tooling. The nearest equivalent is `asyncapi new file`,
    which scaffolds a valid starter AsyncAPI document to submit.
