  Sentry runs a fully hosted, no-signup product sandbox at https://sandbox.sentry.io/ — a live Sentry
  UI pre-populated with a running demo organization (Issues feed, Explore, Dashboards, Insights,
  Settings) built from real demo applications. It is linked directly from sentry.io's own navigation
  ("Sandbox" under Resources), which is what establishes it as first-party rather than a look-alike.

    HONEST GAP, and it is the interesting finding here. The sandbox is a UI console, not an API test
    mode. Sentry publishes NO test-vs-live key prefixes, no test DSN, no fixture/trigger tooling and no
    time-simulation facility for the Web API — there is no documented way to exercise a write endpoint
    without touching a real organization. An agent that wants a safe target must create its own throwaway
    Sentry project on the free Developer plan and point at that. This is the gap behind the `dry_run_mode`
    miss in kin/checks: nothing in the contract or the docs offers a rehearsal.

    note: Free for one user; the closest thing to a disposable API test target Sentry offers.

    note: >-
      A self-hosted Sentry install is the only way to get a throwaway environment that serves the same
      Web API surface, and it is a real one — the server is open source.
