  OpenMetadata operates a public, hosted sandbox — a live, fully-featured demo
  instance of the product (and its REST API + hosted MCP server) that anyone can
  explore. Sign-in is via SSO (Google) on the sandbox; the same instance backs
  the /api/v1 REST surface (GET /api/v1/system/version returns 200) used as this
  repo's baseURL. It is a demo/exploration environment, not a payments-style test
  harness, so there are no test cards or magic values — the "test data" is the
  pre-seeded catalog of sample data assets. A local sandbox can also be run via
  `metadata docker` (see cli/collate-cli.yml).
