Building a Dev/Test Loop for a Kubernetes Edge Gateway with Envoy Proxy

summary
Open source Ambassador sits on Envoy and is hard to test so the project replaces slow, brittle compiler tests with a fast local path plus targeted end to end runs. It removes separate saved compiler snapshots, adds a Kubernetes Acceptance Test (KAT) suite, and uses a local generator called mockery to turn real Kubernetes inputs into Envoy configs in about three seconds. After the 0.50 Envoy v2 refactor full CI end-to-end loops drop from hours to reliable three to fourteen minute runs.
