Description
No page under articles/tools/observability in the docs project mentions the dev tools panel. Developers who add the kit to a local project do not know it exists, what it shows, or that it is only injected outside production mode. The panel is what they see first, long before there is production traffic to look at.
Add a development-mode section to the getting-started page covering:
- How the panel appears in Copilot and how to open it.
- What it lists today:
vaadin.*meters from the active registry, refreshed every few seconds. - That it is injected only when production mode is off, and that it does not change what is exported.
Reuse the insights vocabulary from the insights and client-errors pages. Update the section again when #391 and the view profiler land.
The change itself goes to the docs project; this issue tracks it here.
