separation:
  model: separate base URLs and API keys per environment
  note: Requests hit production or sandbox depending on the URL used; sandbox never touches financial networks.
simulation:
  kyc:
    trigger_scenarios: https://docs.bond.tech/docs/trigger-kyc-scenarios
    note: Various KYC states can be triggered in sandbox using designated scenario SSNs.
    simulate_pass: POST simulate KYC passed (sandbox only) - https://docs.bond.tech/reference/post_simulate_kyc_pass
    simulate_fail: POST simulate KYC failed (sandbox only) - https://docs.bond.tech/reference/post_simulate_kyc_fail
  kyb:
    trigger_scenarios: https://docs.bond.tech/docs/triggering-kyb-scenarios
    note: KYB scenarios can be triggered; pass/fail cannot be simulated the way KYC can.
  card_transactions:
    simulate_authorization: POST simulate authorization (sandbox only) - https://docs.bond.tech/reference/post_authorization
    simulate_settlement: POST simulate settlement (sandbox only) - https://docs.bond.tech/reference/post_settle
  ach:
    note: In sandbox, ACH transfers settle within an hour; ACH returns are not simulated in sandbox.
sandbox_only_features:
  - Simulate KYC passed / failed
  - Simulate card authorization and settlement
production_only_features:
  - ACH returns
  - Non-standard card transactions (cash withdrawals, purchase returns)
  - Card issue fees and ATM withdrawal fees
  - Mobile wallet provisioning (card.wallet.* webhooks)
test_values:
  note: >-
    Bond publishes KYC/KYB trigger scenarios (scenario SSNs / inputs) on its docs
    pages rather than a fixed table of magic values. Specific scenario inputs are
    documented at the trigger-scenario pages above; not reproduced verbatim here.
