Description
While trying to reproduce #10998 and debug #11000, it was very difficult to follow the actual sync process using our existing demo accounts, since they do not perform real sync. Real accounts are also difficult to debug effectively because the connections are encrypted, and it is hard to set up reproducible data points for repeated testing.
To mitigate this, we should provide a local test environment that lets us debug against a reproducible setup, with the ability to inspect and influence the client-server communication.
