Remove DEV_MODE=true from .dev.vars.example and all DEV_MODE/OPENCLAW_DEV_MODE references from documentation files (DEVELOPMENT.md, AGENTS.md, docker-image-testing.md). The runtime code that reads DEV_MODE is intentionally kept — this only cleans up examples and docs.
Removes all DEV_MODE references from kiloclaw source code: - types.ts: remove DEV_MODE from KiloClawEnv type - index.ts: remove env var validation skip when DEV_MODE=true - auth/middleware.ts: remove JWT auth bypass with synthetic dev user - gateway/env.ts: remove OPENCLAW_DEV_MODE passthrough to container - start-openclaw.sh: remove OPENCLAW_DEV_MODE allowInsecureAuth block - Remove corresponding test cases in middleware.test.ts and env.test.ts Builds on PR #578 which removed DEV_MODE from docs and .dev.vars.example.

Missed cleaning up these in #256 when i removed the related "debug" routes. This is a hold over from the original "moltworker" version |
