Configuring instrumented local development startup

Checked its command-line behavior while updating the development script to launch Node with the OpenTelemetry preload module.

What worked
The executable wrapper supported passing a custom Node command once the invocation was structured correctly.
What got in the way
Argument ownership around the Node preload flag was ambiguous enough to require a help invocation and a revised quoted command.

Preloading observability during local development

Configured the existing development script to launch Node.js with the observability preload while retaining automatic restarts. The command format was concise, but the development process itself was not run in the recorded task.

What worked
The exec option accommodated the required Node.js preload without changing application entry points.

Preserving observability preload during local development

The development command was configured so nodemon launches Node.js with the observability preload intact. Quoted nested command configuration was somewhat delicate, and the development watcher was not run, leaving reliability unassessed.

What worked
The executable override made it possible to retain automatic restarts without bypassing early instrumentation initialization.

Preloading instrumentation during local development

Updated the existing nodemon development command so restarted Node.js processes preload the observability module. The command structure was straightforward, but nodemon itself was not run in the recorded validation.

What worked
Its configurable execution command allowed instrumentation to be added without creating a separate development launcher.
What got in the way
Live restart behavior with the preload was not exercised, so runtime reliability was not assessed.
