Issue/#1079 Update developer instructions

[WestonBDev]

Summary

• replace the archived faf-stack setup with the current gitops-stack and Tilt workflow
• document the required local infrastructure and database seeding step
• align local development configuration and test commands with faf_lobby

The Tilt stack exposes faf_lobby, while the existing local server and test defaults target faf. This keeps CI's faf setup unchanged: local tests pass an explicit override, and dev-config.yml now matches Tilt.

Verification

• cross-checked startup, migrations, port forwarding, and the database name against gitops-stack develop
• parsed dev-config.yml and verified that pytest applies the later database option
• ran the repository pre-commit hooks and git diff --check
• validated the new external links

Closes #1079

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Development setup documentation now uses Kubernetes, Tilt, Helm, and gitops-stack instead of Docker Compose and faf-stack. Local database configuration and test commands now use faf_lobby.

Changes

Development environment setup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Local infrastructure and database setup DEVELOPMENT.md, README.md, dev-config.yml	Development instructions start gitops-stack through Tilt. The configuration sets the database name to faf_lobby.
Deployment and test commands DEVELOPMENT.md, README.md	Deployment references use gitops-stack. Test commands pass --mysql_database=faf_lobby.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3ed2f

The documentation update still contains command blocks that violate Markdown lint rules, creating a bounded documentation and check-readiness concern. The PR remains mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to clean up those blocks.
