Two long-standing dev-environment ergonomics had not survived the
move from the bespoke local-dev stack to the CI-driven dev-deploy:
1. `BACKEND_DEV_SANDBOX_EMAIL` defaulted to an empty string in the
dev-deploy compose, so the auto-provisioned "Dev Sandbox" game
never appeared on `https://www.galaxy.lan`. Bake `dev@galaxy.lan`
as the default — matches `.env.example` and lets a developer who
logs in with that email find a ready-to-play game in the lobby.
2. The lobby's synthetic-report loader was gated on
`import.meta.env.DEV`, which is true only for `vite dev` (the
tools/local-dev path). The long-lived dev environment builds
with `vite build` (production mode), so the section was always
stripped from its bundle. Gate it on an explicit
`VITE_GALAXY_DEV_AFFORDANCES` flag instead and set it both in
`.env.development` (preserves `pnpm dev` behaviour) and in the
`dev-deploy.yaml` build step. The `prod-build.yaml` build path
leaves the flag unset, so production stays clean.

A docker-compose stack that hosts postgres, redis, mailpit, backend,
gateway, and an app-routing Caddy. Reachable through the host Caddy at
https://www.galaxy.lan (static SPA) and https://api.galaxy.lan (REST +
gRPC). Coexists with tools/local-dev/ and tools/local-ci/ by giving
every name (compose project, container, network, volume) a distinct
galaxy-dev-* prefix.
State is persisted in named volumes; game-state lives under
${GALAXY_DEV_GAME_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.galaxy-dev/game-state} so the
default works for a non-root runner without sudo.
