Description

Description: Flipt cloud only supports client-side evaluation models. Self-hosted flipt instances support both. To provider a wider coverage of open-feature for end-users there should be support for both evaluation models.

Currently the flipt provider wraps the ofrep provider which is fine for evaluation against a self-hosted instance, however, this implementation will need to wrap the official client side sdk: https://github.com/flipt-io/flipt-client-sdks/tree/main/flipt-client-python

Research direction

Locate the existing Flipt provider and the OFREP provider wrapper, then compare their integration with the official Flipt client-side Python SDK linked in the issue. Confirm how both client-side and self-hosted evaluation models should remain supported, and verify the provider behavior with the repository's existing tests.
