Subject: [PATCH] fix: default binary to production mode and fix standalone
 next start

- `failproofai` now launches production dashboard by default (was dev mode)
- Removes `--start` flag from binary (production is the only mode for end users)
- `scripts/launch.ts`: use `node .next/standalone/server.js` for start mode,
  fixing the "next start does not work with output: standalone" warning
- `package.json`: add `predev`/`prestart` hooks to auto-run `bun link` so
  `which failproofai` resolves during local development without a manual step
