summary: 'Kargo publishes an interactive API console for both of its surfaces but no
  isolated test environment. There is no separate sandbox host, no test-vs-live key
  prefix, no magic test identifiers, and no fixture or trigger tooling. Requests made
  from either console go to the production API with production credentials.'
consoles:
- name: Kargo API Sandbox (Apollo Sandbox)
  surface: GraphQL
  url: https://api.kargo.zone/public_graphql
  tool: Apollo Sandbox
  auth: 'Add an Authorization: Bearer <token> header in the Sandbox headers panel.'
  features:
  - Full schema browsing via anonymous introspection
  - File upload against the Upload scalar via the "+Add Files" control, setting the
    target variable (e.g. input.file) to null and selecting the file

    appendOrderItem, mergeOrderItemByLpnAndSku, deleteOrderItemByLpnAndSku,
    overwriteOrderItems, shipmentWithMultipleOrders,
    shipmentWithMultipleOrdersShipmentLevelStrategy,
    shipmentWithMultipleOrdersOrderLevelStrategies) and two on POST /sku_master

  note: 'Kargo publishes no test-mode credentials or magic values. The docs use
    placeholder identifiers only (business "kargo", facility "sf", order numbers
    prefixed TEST-EXAMPLE-, LPNABC/SKU123), and those are illustrative example values
    in a walkthrough — not provider-issued test fixtures. They are recorded here as
    documentation examples, not as usable test data.'
