Hmm, so "testing mode" is where I did the initial setup to hardcode the
tokens into my (encrypted) config?

So it sounds like maybe I don't need to do anything, but is there a
better way that doesn't use 'testing'? [Maybe it's not needed, I've been
using the single 'testing' setup unmodified since late 2020!]

Cheers,

Dave.
