Send a test webhook delivery

Send one synthetic delivery only when expected_version matches the operator-reviewed endpoint. The event type webhook.test never appears in a real event log; the test body carries seq: 0 and a null session_id, so a consumer that dereferences session identity unconditionally fails here first. Reports whether delivery succeeded and with what status code. Accepts an optional Idempotency-Key whose fingerprint includes the version fence.

Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. Required evidence journey: webhook-delivery. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities.
