Add comprehensive warning display when server starts in development mode
to ensure users are aware of simulated AI calls and data handling.
Changes:
- Add log_dev_mode_startup_warning() function in deployment_config.py
- Display warning on main.py startup when DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV
- Display warning on API server startup (api/main.py)
- Warning shows AI simulation status and data persistence behavior
- Provides clear instructions for switching to PROD mode
The warning is highly visible and informs users that:
- AI API calls are simulated (no costs incurred)
- Data may be reset between runs (based on PRESERVE_DEV_DATA)
- System is using isolated dev database and paths

Fix critical bug where dev mode was initializing the production database
path instead of the dev database path. The initialize_dev_database() call
now correctly uses get_db_path() to resolve to data/jobs_dev.db.
Impact:
- Before: DEV mode would reset data/jobs.db (production database)
- After: DEV mode correctly resets data/jobs_dev.db (dev database)
Testing:
- Verified database isolation between dev and prod
- Confirmed PRESERVE_DEV_DATA flag works correctly
- Validated dev mode banner and deployment mode detection
Documentation:
- Added comprehensive manual verification results
- Documented all test cases and outcomes
- Recorded fix details for future reference
Task: Task 12 - Manual Verification and Final Testing
