feat: VITE_DEV_TOOLS env-gate for preview tooling on deployed builds

Adds a useDevTools() composable that returns true when either Vite's
own DEV flag is set (local pnpm dev) or VITE_DEV_TOOLS='true' is
passed at build time. AppLayout's PaletteSwitcher now reads through
this composable, so the picker can render on earthwalker.aiolabs.dev
without flipping the build to development mode.

Single gate intentionally — future preview-only surfaces (debug
overlays, unfinished pages, work-in-progress UI) hook into the same
composable. Anything Nicholette should see but the public shouldn't
becomes a v-if="devTools" check. Set the var on the deploy host,
rebuild, surfaces appear; unset, surfaces vanish.
