Updated Nx config to disable the daemon

[jonatansberg]

Summary

• Reintroduced the top-level useDaemonProcess: false setting in nx.json.
• Keeps local long-running Nx dev tasks from relying on the daemon.

Context

The Nx daemon can fail to bind its Unix socket from sandboxed environments and leave the workspace with a stale .nx/workspace-data/d/disabled marker. Since pnpm dev mostly runs long-lived tasks, the daemon startup optimization is not worth the recovery failure mode for local development.

Validation

• pnpm nx report
• pnpm nx show projects --json
