This is going to be what 90% of readers are looking for, methinks.

@tylersmalley I added this link here since this file was linked from the current docs, but it looks like that reference is gone in 7.11.
Any preference on where/how to reference this in the 7.11 documentation?

I think it's fine only backporting to 7.x/7.12.

Than's just great!
I wish this doc was available to me when I first started writing Cypress tests recently. While the doc definitely was not bad at all and gave me relevant info (especially comparing to other docs on dev tooling), I had to figure out what test modes exist, what's the proper way to run all tests, develop a new one, etc etc. Wasted some time on trying to run Cypress against my own instance of ES; trying to run a single test in headless mode; thought I was missing some env vars; found a "bug" in start-cypress-open etc.
I especially appreciate that the doc starts from high level (what is that and how to use it) and then goes into details of implementation.
👏
