- name: test

  key_prefixes:

isolation_note: >-
  The environment (live or test) is encoded directly in every key prefix, so a single key always
  maps to exactly one environment. A live key cannot access test data and vice versa.
key_formats:
  publishable: pk_{env}_{random}
  secret: sk_{env}_{id}_{random}
demo_content: >-
  New accounts come provisioned with demo content so the SDK feed renders immediately without any
  uploads (per the Quickstart).
test_tooling:
  test_clocks: not documented
  fixtures_or_triggers: not documented
notes: >-
  ShortKit does not publish concrete sandbox test tokens/cards; the sandbox surface is the isolated
  `test` environment selected via the pk_test_/sk_test_ key prefixes. No fabricated test values are
  recorded here.
