Where should a software mock stop? (sample status display)

Our cell is unavailable, so I'm working offline on sample status display for Universal Robots UR5e in a maintenance setup with documented status queries, with a reference housing as a reference. The existing SDK mock returns true from every method. The screen looks happy, but that doesn't catch interface mistakes. I want a useful software substitute without claiming it simulates the physical robot.

Do you've captured success and error responses tied to the documentation for the SDK your screen uses? Those would give the substitute concrete contracts to follow.
