## Production principles

- Use the sandbox until your integration passes the [go-live checklist](/partners/docs/going-live).
- Treat writes as idempotent operations and persist the returned `X-Request-ID`.
- Verify webhook signatures against the raw request body and deduplicate by `eventId`.
- Reconcile cash, securities, unsettled trades, fees, dividends, and custody positions on your operating schedule.
