## Frequently asked questions

### Can I use a real webhook secret for an internal endpoint?

No. Use a disposable test secret or redacted fixture. The capture session may retain headers and bodies, so an internal label does not make a production secret safe to store.

### Does a valid HTTPS certificate prove that the endpoint is trustworthy?

No. It shows that the certificate passes connection checks. It does not prove application ownership, authorization, safe routing, or correct webhook semantics.

### What if the certificate passes but delivery fails?

Separate the layers: check method, path, signature header, body encoding, response status, timeout, and authorized application logs. A passing certificate check does not explain a 4xx, 5xx, routing error, or application rejection.
