Simulate development runtime - #443
Conversation
A Provider manifest passed with --providers can now carry simulate.crossplane.io/runtime: Development, like render's per-function runtime annotation: the CLI connects to a diff server the user already runs, from source or under a debugger, at the gRPC target in runtime-development-target (default localhost:9099, upjet's default --address) instead of fetching the package and starting a container. Nothing is fetched for such a provider, and the plan protocol has no RPC that reports what a server serves, so the manifest declares the API groups in runtime-development-api-groups. Resources in those groups route to it unless a package-run server ships a CRD for their exact kind. Docker is only pinged when some provider still needs a container.

Explanation
Issue
#442requires a Development runtime for provider diff servers. The current code acceptssimulate.crossplane.io/runtime: Development, defaults the target tolocalhost:9099, and acceptssimulate.crossplane.io/runtime-development-target. It requires declared API groups for routing. Development inputs connect through gRPC without package fetching or Docker startup. Docker remains the default for other providers. Unit tests cover Development defaults, target selection, API-group validation, routing-related startup behavior, and Docker selection.

Explanation
The changes stay within issue
#442. The simulate command, diff-server manager, routing logic, tests, and documentation implement or support the Development runtime and preserve Docker behavior. No unrelated product change is demonstrated.

Explanation
The exact PR diff changes no files under
apis/**. Incmd/crossplane/simulate/simulate.go, theCmdpublic fields and Kong flag tags are identical between base and head, including the requiredFilenameflag and all existing defaults. The new exported names are runtime annotation constants, not public fields or flags. Existing Docker behavior remains the default, and Development runtime adds behavior; no public field, flag, or existing behavior is removed or renamed. Therefore this check passes without abreaking-changelabel.

404-404: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider a shorter readiness timeout for Development targets.
Thanks for sharing this clean split between the container and Development paths. I have one question about the timing.
A Development provider points at a server the user already runs.
connectDevelopmentcallsm.dial, which callswaitReadywithm.readyTimeout. The default is 60 seconds (defaultReadyTimeout).If the user forgets to start the server, a refused connection returns
codes.Unavailable.waitReadytreats that as "not ready yet" and polls every 500 ms until the full timeout. The CLI then shows no progress except the spinner for about a minute. After that, it skips the provider and falls back to approximate diffs.The 60-second budget makes sense for a container that is still booting. A server that should already be running probably needs a much shorter budget, for example 5 to 10 seconds. That would give faster feedback on the most common mistake. The skip message already tells the user to start the diff-server command.
Could
dialtake the timeout as a parameter, soconnectkeepsm.readyTimeoutandconnectDevelopmentuses a shorter value? Is there a reason to keep 60 seconds here, such as a debugger that is slow to start?♻️ Possible direction

Reject codes.Unimplemented during readiness.
A reachable target without PlanService returns codes.Unimplemented for the empty probe. waitReady accepts it, so the target is registered for its declared API groups. Each routed simulation then returns a Plan error instead of using the best-effort skip path and approximate diff.
Please preserve codes.InvalidArgument as readiness success because the supported Upjet diff server returns it for an empty request.

Description of your changes
Fixes #442
Allows provider developers to run the diff server as a local process when running
crossplane resource simulate, which substantially shortens the development loop of diff servers.I have:
./nix.sh flake checkto ensure this PR is ready for review.- [ ] Addedbackport release-x.ylabels to auto-backport this PR.Need help with this checklist? See the cheat sheet.
Local reproducer if you'd like to see it in action
Enter some throwaway directory e.g. /Users/mysuer/development-simulate
1. Start the diff server (this may take some time)
2. Prepare a cluster
The VirtualNetwork CRD is deliberately not installed: an unserved kind has no live counterpart and
plans as a create.
3. Build the CLI from the branch and simulate
See logs showing in the terminal window with provider diff server
4. Cleanup
and stop the
