feat: implement integrated development mode with automatic CSS rebuilding

Browse Source 
## Major Development Environment Improvements

### Integrated Development Mode
- Modified systemd service to use 'npm run dev' for complete development stack
- Concurrently runs both development server and Tailwind CSS watcher
- Automatic CSS rebuilding when Tailwind classes change
- Seamless hot reload for frontend, backend, and CSS changes

### Hot Reload Enhancements
- Always attempt to load chokidar for development convenience
- Enhanced file watcher initialization with better error messaging
- Added debug logging for NODE_ENV detection and chokidar availability
- Improved development experience with real-time change detection

### Development vs Production Distinction
- Development: systemd runs 'npm run dev' with NODE_ENV=development
- Production: installer creates service running 'node server/index.js' with NODE_ENV=production
- Clear separation between development and production environments
- Updated CLAUDE.md with integrated development mode documentation

### UI and Configuration Updates
- Removed DEV branding from title and header (development-specific cleanup)
- Added CLAUDE.md to .gitignore (development reference file)
- Restored proper RC branding for release candidate version

### Development Workflow Optimization
- No more manual 'npm run build:css' commands needed
- Complete hot reload: frontend JS → browser reload, CSS changes → auto-rebuild → browser reload
- Production-ready systemd service management with PolicyKit
- Optimal development experience with automatic toolchain management

This creates a seamless development environment where any change to Tailwind classes
automatically rebuilds CSS and triggers browser reload, while maintaining proper
production deployment through the existing install script.
