Fire a test delivery
Overview
Dispatches a synthetic webhook.test delivery to the subscription's URL (via the same DeliverWebhook job + per-attempt retries as production). This lets partners verify their endpoint and HMAC verifier. Returns 400 if the subscription is inactive. The resulting partner_webhook_deliveries row is identical in shape to a production attempt — poll the deliveries endpoint ~60s later. No request body required.
Prerequisites
- Obtain a bearer token with Partner access.
- Copy the
