Provider discovery

The public sandbox exposes a directory of synthetic provider records so clients can test search, filtering, capability rendering, and OAuth error handling. Directory inclusion does not mean a party is a live counterparty, customer, partner, reachable production service, or independently accredited.

bash
curl "https://phosra-api-sandbox-production.up.railway.app/api/v1/providers"

Fixture fields may include:

FieldSandbox meaning

tierProposed standing value used to exercise client logic
capabilitiesDeclared fixture values for filtering
connect_urlSandbox reference flow, when configured

Treat missing or unconfigured connect metadata as an expected test branch. Never present a provider as verified or accredited based solely on this directory.

In a future production architecture, independently governed registry records and verified counterparty metadata could support discovery. That production directory, hosted routing, and independent accreditation path remain roadmap.
