Worked on the bluesky/tiled repository to improve the separation of client and server dependencies within the CLI environment. Addressed a dependency management issue by implementing lazy loading of server settings in the _serve.py module, ensuring that server-specific modules are not imported when operating in client-only contexts. This approach, developed using Python and focused on CLI development, reduced startup time and memory usage for client builds while simplifying testing and deployment of client-only configurations. The solution involved moving the import of get_settings inside the serve_directory function, minimizing the server-side dependency footprint and streamlining the overall runtime environment for users.
