Environments, quality and evidence

Partner environments

Partners use the browser Sandbox for guided evaluation and a separately issued integration environment for backend testing. Production activation is a distinct approval and deployment process; it is never implied by Sandbox access.

What evidence means

Public status distinguishes implemented capability, pilot validation, simulation, work in development and a pending production gate. Pilot means a limited evaluation with explicit constraints, not general availability. A demonstration or testnet result is useful evidence, not a mainnet or general-availability promise.

Capability activation

Every network, asset and execution mode is activated independently. Before your integration relies on a capability, confirm its current state in the Roadmap and the environment configuration issued to your Partner.

Capabilities in this area

This area covers the capabilities below. The Roadmap states the current availability of each one.

  • Mock, local node, private Bitcoin network and public testnet profiles — The same code runs against four profiles chosen by configuration: an in-memory simulator, a local EVM node, a private Bitcoin network and public test networks. Every surface states which profile it is running on.

  • Build, typecheck, lint and tests across repositories — The same set of checks runs over every repository of the suite with one command. A change that breaks a different repository fails there.

  • Versioned evidence packs, including public testnets — Each end-to-end run saves its results — transaction hashes, receipts, deliveries — in files kept under version control, including the runs against public test networks.

  • Blocking coverage thresholds — Each repository declares a minimum coverage and the build fails when a change goes below it. The minimum is higher on the code that moves funds.

  • Fully automated end-to-end on every profile — The end-to-end journeys run in the pipeline with no manual steps, including starting up the nodes they need and cleaning up what they leave behind.
