Code Review

This pull request provides a comprehensive set of documentation updates, significantly improving the contributor guide, README, and design documents. A new, detailed document explaining the OpenAPI client pattern has been added, which is a great resource for understanding remote operations. The Makefile has also been improved for a better developer experience.

My review focuses on ensuring the new documentation is accurate and consistent with the project's implementation. I've found a few minor inconsistencies in the new openapi-client-pattern.md file regarding Makefile targets and external links. The suggested changes aim to correct these details to prevent confusion for contributors. Overall, this is an excellent and valuable contribution to the project's documentation.
