Simulate a card authorization advice

Changed on

Simulate an AUTHORIZATION_ADVICE that re-sizes an existing open authorization on a CardTransaction in the sandbox environment. The amount is the new total authorized amount the advice re-sizes to. The parent transaction must be in AUTHORIZED or PARTIALLY_SETTLED state. The resulting card operation is delivered asynchronously via the issuer's events webhook.

Production returns 404 on this path.
