  Centrica publishes no sandbox in the usual sense — there are no test credentials, no magic
  test identifiers, no fixture tooling and no documented test-vs-live key separation anywhere
  on a Centrica property. What exists instead is a whole DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT of the
  FieldOps partner platform standing open on the public internet: api-developer.dev.fieldops.centrica.com
  answers 200 anonymously, carries an open self-serve sign-up form, and publishes a Starter
  product that requires a subscription but NOT administrator approval. That is the closest
  thing to a try-before-you-partner surface Centrica offers, and it is recorded here as such
  rather than as a curated sandbox. The matching production hosts both answer 403.

  note: >-
    The stock APIM operation-details / try-it console. The portal home page links each of the
    three advertised APIs (WorkOrder, Opportunity, Appointment Slots) with a "Try it out."
    call to action, but only the Identity API is visible to an anonymous visitor — the
    anonymous API list from the portal's management API returns exactly one API, count 1.

  test_keys_published: false

  note: >-
    Access requires a real Azure APIM subscription key obtained by signing up and subscribing to
    a product. Centrica publishes no shared demo key, and none is invented here.

  note: No test identifiers, fixture values or simulator inputs are published.

caveats:
- The DEVELOPMENT environment is not offered as a sandbox — it appears to be an internal
  partner environment that is simply publicly reachable, which is a finding in its own right.
- The single anonymously visible operation mints OAuth2 access tokens; exercising it requires
  real partner client credentials, which no public developer has.
