feat: sandbox simulate endpoints for the full card-event set

[ls-bolt]

This PR has been claimed. The active PR is now #715.

Summary

Adds the 7 remaining sandbox card-event simulate endpoints, completing the set alongside the existing authorization, clearing, and return simulators. Each is POST, sandbox-only, and returns 202 with { "issuerTransactionToken": string } — the simulate call drives the card issuer's sandbox and the resulting card operation is delivered asynchronously via webhook.

New endpoints (all under /sandbox/cards/{id}/simulate/):

Path	Request body
balance_inquiry	SandboxCardBalanceInquiryRequest (merchant only — a $0 inquiry)
credit_authorization	SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest
financial_authorization	SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest
financial_credit_authorization	SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest
authorization_advice	SandboxCardAuthorizationAdviceRequest (cardTransactionId + new total amount)
credit_authorization_advice	SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest
return_reversal	SandboxCardTransactionRefRequest (cardTransactionId)

New schemas: SandboxCardBalanceInquiryRequest, SandboxCardAuthorizationAdviceRequest, SandboxCardTransactionRefRequest, and a shared SandboxCardSimulationResponse ({ issuerTransactionToken }). SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest and CardMerchant are reused.

Response correction to the existing 3 simulators: they were documented as 200 returning a full CardTransaction, but these simulators are asynchronous — they return an issuer transaction token and deliver the resulting card operation over webhook. This PR corrects authorization, clearing, and return to 202 / SandboxCardSimulationResponse so the whole simulate family is consistent.

Intentionally excluded: authorization expiry and authorization reversal / void — neither has a card-issuer simulate path.

Notes

• The simulate/* path segments are snake_case to match the card issuer's simulate routes verbatim, so they're exempted from the repo's kebab-case path convention (scoped carve-outs in .spectral.yaml and .redocly.lint-ignore.yaml, not a global relaxation).
• No info.version bump: no breaking change to an existing published contract — this documents new endpoints and corrects the stale response shape on the existing simulators.

Test plan

• make build — rebundles openapi.yaml + mintlify/openapi.yaml; both contain the 7 new paths, 7 operationIds, and the 4 new schemas.
• make lint — passes (Redocly + Spectral + markdown), 0 errors.

Heads-up for whoever claims/publishes this: the Stainless preview bot derives each SDK's changelog message from the branch name, so it currently shows feat: plan-sandbox-card-event-simulate-endpoints (the branch has a plan- prefix from the planning phase). The bot regenerates on each push, so editing the comment doesn't stick. To get clean SDK changelogs, either publish from a branch without the plan- prefix (e.g. on reauthor/claim) or edit the Stainless comment right before merge. The PR title and commit message are already clean.

Greptile Summary

This PR completes the sandbox card-event simulator family by adding 7 new POST /sandbox/cards/{id}/simulate/* endpoints alongside the existing authorization, clearing, and return simulators. It also corrects those 3 existing endpoints from a synchronous 200 / CardTransaction response shape to the accurate asynchronous 202 / SandboxCardSimulationResponse ({ issuerTransactionToken }).

• 7 new endpoints (balance_inquiry, credit_authorization, financial_authorization, financial_credit_authorization, authorization_advice, credit_authorization_advice, return_reversal) added with correct request schemas, 202 responses, and consistent error response sets (400 / 401 / 403 / 404 / 500).
• 4 new schemas introduced: SandboxCardBalanceInquiryRequest, SandboxCardAuthorizationAdviceRequest, SandboxCardTransactionRefRequest, and the shared SandboxCardSimulationResponse; SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest is reused for the authorization-family endpoints.
• Kebab-case linting exemptions correctly scoped to the 7 snake_case paths in both .spectral.yaml (via a second regex branch) and .redocly.lint-ignore.yaml, leaving the 3 existing kebab-compatible simulate paths untouched.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — adds sandbox-only simulate endpoints with no changes to production paths, and the response-shape correction on the 3 existing simulators is a documentation fix that aligns with the actual async contract.

All changes are additive (7 new sandbox endpoints) or corrective (3 existing sandbox endpoints updated from incorrect 200/CardTransaction to 202/SandboxCardSimulationResponse). The new schemas are correctly typed for OpenAPI 3.1. Linting exemptions are scoped tightly. No production paths are touched, no version bump is needed, and the PR description accounts for all intentional design choices.

No files require special attention.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
openapi/openapi.yaml	7 new path $refs added in the paths section; ordered logically after the existing simulate endpoints and before /stablecoin-provider-accounts.
.spectral.yaml	paths-kebab-case rule updated to a two-branch regex: the original branch covers all standard paths, a new branch whitelists the 7 snake_case simulate paths. Exemption is correctly scoped (not a blanket relaxation).
.redocly.lint-ignore.yaml	Redocly paths-kebab-case ignore entries added for all 7 new snake_case simulate paths; consistent with the Spectral exemption scope.
openapi/components/schemas/cards/SandboxCardSimulationResponse.yaml	New shared response schema with a single required issuerTransactionToken string; clean and correctly applied across all 10 simulate endpoints.
openapi/components/schemas/cards/SandboxCardAuthorizationAdviceRequest.yaml	New schema for authorization advice; requires cardTransactionId and total amount with exclusiveMinimum: 0 (valid OpenAPI 3.1 JSON Schema semantics).
openapi/components/schemas/cards/SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest.yaml	Updated description to list all 5 authorization-family endpoints that reuse this schema; no property changes.
openapi/components/schemas/cards/SandboxCardBalanceInquiryRequest.yaml	New schema for balance inquiry; merchant-only (no amount), consistent with $0 implicit nature of balance inquiries.
openapi/components/schemas/cards/SandboxCardTransactionRefRequest.yaml	New schema keyed only by cardTransactionId; used for return_reversal, correctly scoped and described.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_authorization.yaml	Corrected from 200/CardTransaction to 202/SandboxCardSimulationResponse to reflect the actual async behavior.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_clearing.yaml	Corrected from 200/CardTransaction to 202/SandboxCardSimulationResponse; response description updated to reflect async delivery.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_return.yaml	Corrected from 200/CardTransaction to 202/SandboxCardSimulationResponse; response description updated to reflect async delivery.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_authorization_advice.yaml	New endpoint for authorization advice simulation; uses the correct SandboxCardAuthorizationAdviceRequest schema, 202 response, and full error set.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_balance_inquiry.yaml	New endpoint for balance inquiry simulation; correctly uses merchant-only SandboxCardBalanceInquiryRequest (no amount, as $0 is implicit), 202 response, full error set.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_credit_authorization.yaml	New endpoint for credit authorization simulation; reuses SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest schema consistently with the authorization-family pattern.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_credit_authorization_advice.yaml	New endpoint for credit authorization advice; intentionally uses SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest (PAN+merchant keyed, not transaction-keyed) as described in the PR.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_financial_authorization.yaml	New endpoint for single-message financial authorization simulation; correctly uses SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest and 202 response.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_financial_credit_authorization.yaml	New endpoint for single-message financial credit authorization simulation; correctly uses SandboxCardAuthorizationRequest and 202 response.
openapi/paths/sandbox/cards/sandbox_cards_{id}_simulate_return_reversal.yaml	New endpoint for return reversal simulation; uses SandboxCardTransactionRefRequest (cardTransactionId only), 202 response, and correctly notes the REFUNDED state prerequisite.
