- Improves common-utils build process so the server is ready immediately when started. Currently, when the server starts common-utils hasn't finished building, so it starts, crashes, then restarts correctly after build. Now it runs as expected the first try.
- Adds support for `.env.local` so you can easily provide secret keys without always passing it in via the CLI
- These features already exist downstream, but they seem necessary fro oss as well.
