  There is no separate sandbox host or test credential. The published mechanisms are (1) a sandbox GRAPH on the
  production host, selected per request with the x-sandbox: true header (documented in the first-party CLI as
  --sandbox "route to the sandbox graph"), (2) the volatile flag, which runs a turn without ingesting it into
  shared memory, and (3) per-branch CI deployments at ci-{slug}.marginalia.polycode.co.uk declared in the spec's
  servers[] (a CI slug is not published; the default variable value is main and no such host was probed). No test
  values, fixtures or magic identifiers are published; postTestSeed exists but is "sandbox-only" and its body is
  undocumented.
modes:
- name: sandbox graph
  selector: 'request header x-sandbox: true'
  host: https://marginalia.polycode.co.uk
  effect: routes the turn to the sandbox graph instead of the shared default graph
  documented_in: CLI --sandbox flag
- name: volatile turn
  selector: 'postChat body volatile: true (CLI --volatile)'
  effect: chat turn not ingested into shared memory
- name: CI branch deployment
  selector: 'servers[1] https://ci-{slug}.marginalia.polycode.co.uk'
  effect: a full per-branch deployment; slugs are not published
fixtures:
  operation: postTestSeed
  note: 'Summary reads "Prime behaviour-test fixtures into the sandbox graph (sandbox-only)"; body not documented; not invoked.'
test_credentials: none published
