fix: pass django-settings-modules as make argument to override env local

Changes

Makefile's .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES + -include .env-local causes DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=app.settings.local to override the step-level env var, loading debug_toolbar which isn't installed in CI.

Fix:

• Pass DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE as a Make argument instead, which has the highest precedence and can't be overridden by included env files.

How did you test this code?

• Locally, resetting the modules until resolution
