#6900 Add local development setup guide for whole system Pull request opened by andreahlert Tracking issue Closes #6839 Why are the changes needed? The v2 branch has setup docs scattered across individual services (

executor/DEVELOPMENT.md

,

dataproxy/DEVELOPMENT.md

,

manager/README.md

) but there is no single, unified guide for getting the whole system running locally. Contributors need to piece together instructions from multiple files and the PR #6840 comment thread. What changes were proposed in this pull request? Add a root-level

DEVELOPMENT.md

with step-by-step instructions covering the full local development workflow using the unified manager binary: • Prerequisites - Go 1.24+, Docker, kind, kubectl • Quick Start - 7 numbered steps from cluster creation to health check verification • Teardown - Clean shutdown and cluster deletion • Individual Services - How to run each service standalone for focused development • Configuration - Key config settings with reference to full config file • SDK Testing - How to connect flyte-sdk and run workflows • Useful Commands - Common kubectl, sqlite3, and make commands • Troubleshooting - Solutions for common issues (kubeconfig, ports, MinIO, migrations) • Architecture diagram - Visual overview of the system How was this patch tested? • Verified all referenced file paths exist in the v2 branch • Verified all referenced Make targets exist • Cross-referenced with the setup steps from PR #6840 comment and existing service-level docs Labels • added •
