  description: >-
    Sandbox exposes simulation operations to drive asynchronous money-movement state machines
    to terminal states, so integrators can test success and failure paths without real settlement.
  operations:
    - operationId: onboardOrganization
      path: POST /v1/simulations/organizations/onboard/{id}
      effect: Simulate onboarding a nonprofit organization.
    - operationId: simulateDisbursementCompletion
      path: POST /v1/simulations/disbursements/{id}/complete
    - operationId: simulateDisbursementFailure
      path: POST /v1/simulations/disbursements/{id}/fail
    - operationId: simulateGrantCompletion
      path: POST /v1/simulations/grants/{id}/complete
    - operationId: simulateGrantCancellation
      path: POST /v1/simulations/grants/{id}/cancel
    - operationId: simulateInboundTransferCompletion
      path: POST /v1/simulations/inbound_transfers/{id}/complete
    - operationId: simulateInboundTransferFailure
      path: POST /v1/simulations/inbound_transfers/{id}/fail
notes: >-
  No published magic test card numbers or fixed test identifiers were found; sandbox testing is
  driven by the simulation endpoints against objects the integrator creates. Never invent test values.
