In #467397 (closed) we are looking to reduce our dependency on CustomersDot for locally testing AI features, even when not using GitLab.com simulation.
To that end, we suggest to reuse the CLOUD_CONNECTOR_SELF_SIGN_TOKENS environment variable, which will allow the local GL instance to issue tokens itself, without syncing with CDot first. This env var was originally introduced to support Custom Model development and air-gapped customers.
In this MR, my aim is to decouple this env var from Custom Model development so it can be used more generally to self-issue tokens.
Please evaluate this MR against the MR acceptance checklist. It helps you analyze changes to reduce risks in quality, performance, reliability, security, and maintainability.
Screenshots are required for UI changes, and strongly recommended for all other merge requests.

Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.
