summary: >-
  Sonde issues a Test key when a partner opens an account, and the same production
  endpoints are exercised with it. There is no separate sandbox host, no hosted API
  console or playground, and no publicly documented test-vs-live key prefix scheme.
modes:
- name: test
  how_obtained: >-
    "Once you open an account with Sonde, you will receive a Test key. This key will
    allow you to try out any of the use cases."
  base_url: https://api.sondeservices.com
  key_prefix: not published
- name: live
  how_obtained: Production keys are requested from support@sondehealth.com after
    post-integration / pre-live validation.

  key_prefix: not published
test_data:
  published_values: none
  note: >-
    Sonde publishes no magic test identifiers, no synthetic audio fixtures, and no
    canned score payloads. Testing means recording a real voice sample that satisfies
    the elicitation requirement for the measure. NEVER invent test values here.
  audio_requirements:
    respiratory: A single continuous held "ahh" vowel for 6 seconds (~600 KB WAV).
    mental_fitness: 30 seconds of free speech in response to a prompt (~2.5 MB WAV).

quality_gate:
  name: Elicitation Check (ELCK)
  applies_to: Respiratory Symptoms Risk
  behaviour: >-
    Samples are automatically validated for energy level, voice presence, and correct
    elicitation. Failures return HTTP 422 with code ELICITATION_CHECK_FAILED. Sonde
    states accuracy is approximately 80% and recommends no more than 3 retries.

    production keys are issued.
