How to see all features in dev mode

In dev mode (bun run dev), all feature() calls default to true:

# start in dev mode to expose all feature branches
bun run dev

# add USER_TYPE=ant to unlock internal-only runtime branches
USER_TYPE=ant bun run dev

Note: some features still require GrowthBook gates or config settings. USER_TYPE=ant alone does not force-enable everything.
