docs(esdk): add the test-server local-development README - #19
Merged

Conversation
Local-development guide for the ESDK TestServer: the inner-loop make targets (no clones/credentials), the fail-closed orchestrated run and its clone reuse, iterating on a single Language_Server from a working tree, and the dev-only local-overrides overlay.
…-development sections Reorganize the local-development guide into two top-level sections — Library development (running the Tests against local library changes, including the local-overrides overlay) then TestServer development (the build/validate/ orchestrate-test inner loop). Content is unchanged.
…uisites A fresh-clone run showed make validate needs the smithy CLI on PATH and a full make orchestrate needs each language's build toolchain (Maven, Cargo, Go, .NET, Node, CMake, a Python venv); the TestServer-development targets need none.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should maybe start out with some more context about the test server if this is the README for the entire test server? You point to the design doc, but this is the readme for the entire project, not just for developers
Add a short, ESDK-specific top-level README summarizing the TestServer and linking to the supported servers (config/server-config.json) and the two detailed docs. Move the local-development guide to docs/LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT.md and add the configuration design doc as docs/CONFIG_DESIGN.md (copied from the design doc, without the internal 'Other Work' appendix and trailing draft).
