# Coverage Cat Sandbox and Testing

## Browser sandbox

Coverage Cat publishes a homeowners browser sandbox at:

- `/intake?ltp=owned_homes&sandbox=homeowners`

That page is useful for human review and for any first-party assistant that needs to observe the browser flow without a live operator key.

## Delegated homeowners API sandbox

Coverage Cat's delegated homeowners API supports a mocked rehearsal mode:

- Set top-level `sandbox: true` only on the first create call.
- Reuse the returned `uid` on follow-up polls.
- The first fully complete sandbox submit returns `pending_quotes`.
- A later poll on that same `uid` returns mocked homeowners offers.
- Sandbox sends no live customer email and triggers no live carrier traffic.

## Coverage Cat sandbox checklist

- Use fake or test contact details in sandbox.
- Verify that your runtime reuses the same `uid`.
- Verify that you stop to collect explicit soft-credit consent before setting `credit_check_authorized: true`.
- Verify that your runtime can hand off the `homeowner_quotes_request_login_url` when Coverage Cat publishes it.

## Before production

Read the homeowners runtime skill and auth docs, then switch from sandbox to live traffic only after your operator key is stored server-side:

- `/api/agent/homeowners/skill.md`
- `/developers/auth`
