Code Review
This pull request updates DEVELOPMENT.md by adding a new section that explains how to trigger automated code generation in CI using GitHub Actions. The review feedback suggests a minor grammatical improvement to replace 'from local' with 'locally' for better readability.

nit: a note that a successful run will not produce any output (only errors will be shown if the workflow fails).
This is moreso a thing for some other languages (Go, rust?) but might be different experience for a java dev.

This is a comment for librarian cli, not this workflow. I'd suggest to file an issue in librarian repo it this bothers you (even slightly).
It is cross language, but there has been discussion on maybe add minimum logging to console.

It does not bother me and I'm actually ok with no logs (I got used to it when working on librarian for a bit).
This note would be in the java repo meant for other java devs who aren't used to the different behavior (since java outputs quite a bit of logs).

this will not work in the main branch

Ack. Developers shouldn't be running this on the main branch anyway, so an explicit note probably isn't necessary.

admittedly, I ran this on main the first time I used this workflow (it also defaults to main when selecting the dropdown)
