  Halo Connect separates a Stage environment from Production. There are no
  published test cards/tokens (not a payments API); test isolation is by
  environment host + environment-scoped subscription keys, against test practice
  sites provisioned by Halo. Values below are published verbatim; none invented.
environments:
  - mode: production
    host: https://api.haloconnect.io
    portal: https://manage.haloconnect.io
    description: Connects to live practice databases.
  - mode: staging
    host: https://api.stage.haloconnect.io
    description: For development and testing.
key_separation:
  rule: Production subscription keys cannot be used with staging instances, and vice versa.
  scheme: Azure API Management subscription keys, environment-scoped.
test_sites:
  mechanism: >-
    Testing is performed against test practice sites (Halo GUIDs) provisioned by
    Halo Connect for the integrator; there are no public magic identifiers.
