In the sandbox environment every institution accepts the username user_good with the password pass_good, and multi-factor prompts accept the code 1234. The username user_custom instead opens a flow driven by a JSON configuration you supply, which is how specific balances, transaction histories and error conditions are reproduced deterministically.
Sandbox Items also respond to helper endpoints that force an Item into a login-required state or fire a webhook on demand, which is the only practical way to test those branches. Confirm by linking any sandbox institution with the fixed credentials. Build integration tests around the custom user and the sandbox helpers, because the default sandbox user always succeeds and therefore hides every failure path your production users will hit.
