**principle**: Verify parent toggles after every API call: API PATCH success does not equal functional enablement. Always check that the parent module/feature is active in the provider portal before trusting sub-setting configuration.

**evidence**: Telnyx telephony_settings PATCH returned 200 OK but voice was non-functional because parent Telephony module toggle was OFF in portal. API success was misleading.

**strength**: high
