Summary

The contract test service now advertises the flag-overrides capability and accepts the overrides object in the SDK configuration, as the test harness service specification describes: filePaths (required), duplicateKeysHandling (fail or ignore), changeDetection (polling or watching), and pollIntervalMs. The block configures FileOverrides.source() on the data system builder. An overrides block without a dataSystem block is rejected, because the override source is an option of the FDv2 data system.

The service also reads its listening port from the PORT environment variable when set, which the Makefile already passes, so several test services can run side by side on one machine. The default stays 8000.

This PR depends on the file-based override source (rlamb/overrides-java-file-override-source) and is based on that branch; retarget it to feat/overrides once that branch merges.

The existing file data source keeps its current behavior; this change does not touch its code paths.

SDK-3246


Note

Overview
The Java server SDK contract test service now supports the flag-overrides harness capability so cross-SDK tests can drive file-based flag overrides.

Create-instance config accepts an optional overrides block (filePaths, duplicateKeysHandling, changeDetection, pollIntervalMs), mapped to FileOverrides.source() on the FDv2 data system builder. overrides without dataSystem is rejected with a clear error, since overrides are a data-system option only.

The service advertises flag-overrides in its status capabilities. It also honors the PORT environment variable for the HTTP listen port (default 8000), so multiple contract-test services can run on one machine.

## Summary

The Java contract test service did not declare the
`flag-change-listeners` and `flag-value-change-listeners` capabilities,
so the test harness skipped its flag change listener suite for Java. The
suite now also covers dependent-flag notifications (sdk-test-harness
#514) and override change notifications (#515), and Java should be
checked by all of it.

The service now declares both capabilities and handles the three
listener commands. `ListenerRegistry` keeps the listeners the harness
has registered with one SDK client, keyed by the harness's listener ID.
A general flag change listener is registered with
`FlagTracker.addFlagChangeListener` and posts the flag key of every
change event to its callback URI. A flag value change listener uses
`FlagTracker.addFlagValueChangeListener` for the given flag and context
and posts the old and new values when the SDK reports a value change.
`unregisterListener` removes the listener and returns 400 for an unknown
ID; closing the client removes them all; re-registering an ID replaces
the earlier listener. Notifications are posted through the existing
`HookCallbackService`, and a failed post is logged rather than thrown,
since the SDK calls listeners from its worker thread.

The Java API has no application default value for a value change
listener, so the `defaultValue` the harness sends is accepted and not
used; the harness tests only compare the values of flags that exist.

## Verification

Run locally: the released harness listener suite passes against this
service, and so does the dependent-flag suite from sdk-test-harness #514
(prerequisite chains, segment and nested segment references, a segment
behind a prerequisite, deletions, and full data sets). With this commit
cherry-picked onto the flag overrides stack (#225), the override change
notification suite from sdk-test-harness #515 passes as well. CI will
run the released suite once the capabilities are declared.
