+        The `test_StartServerLauncher_Sanity` test function verifies that the O3DE game client launches successfully.

+        directories. The Launcher object controls the O3DE game client and requires a Workspace object for

+        test to run on instances without a GPU. We launch the game client executable and wait for the process to exist.
