For development, the search team method is to change the dumps locally, and then clear all data & restart.
This is generally fine, but runs the risk of the collections being updated from the server at some stage after the restart. To avoid this, we think it would be useful if the devtools could put the client into a dump-only mode which would enforce only loading from the dumps.
We could probably set the server url like we do for the in-tree tests.
