DX-089: Write /developers/indexer #601

Description

@IbrahimIjai

Context

Running the indexer locally is the highest-friction part of contributing to this
repository — Docker, codegen, a contracts manifest, and a sync step, each with
its own failure mode. Documenting it well removes the most common reason a
contributor gives up.

Scope

  • What the indexer does and why the app depends on it.
  • Local setup: Docker services, codegen, build, and the local contracts sync
    using the fixture repo, exactly as the integration checks run it.
  • The contracts manifest: what it is, how it is validated, and how to point it
    at a different deployment.
  • The gitignored generated types and why codegen must run before any compile.
  • Troubleshooting the real failures: missing types, manifest validation errors,
    and sync failures.

Acceptance criteria

  • Every command was run from a clean clone and its output pasted in the PR.
  • Commands match the integration-checks workflow exactly — divergence is a
    bug in one of them and must be reconciled.
  • Each troubleshooting entry shows the real error text.
  • check:content and check:links pass.

Out of scope

  • Deploying the indexer to production.
