fix: completely bypass auth for development environment

- Skip auth check entirely in App.tsx for development
- Add .env.dev file with DISABLE_AUTH=true and PULSE_MOCK_MODE=true
- Update hot-dev.sh to load .env.dev environment variables
- This ensures the app loads immediately without auth issues
- WebSocket and API now work without authentication in dev mode
