[Feat] Developer mode Easter egg via version number tap#172
Merged
Conversation
Remove the always-on dev screenshot capture and hide DevTools/Reload menu items behind a persistent developer mode flag. Tapping the version number 5 times in the About section enables developer mode, which is persisted to config.json and rebuilds the app menu to expose Reload and Toggle DevTools.

Summary
Add a hidden developer mode activated by tapping the version number 5 times in Settings > About (Android-style Easter egg). Remove the always-on dev screenshot feature. DevTools and Reload menu items are now only visible when developer mode is enabled or running in dev mode.
Type of change
[Feat]new featureWhy is this needed?
Production users should not see DevTools/Reload in the View menu by default, but power users and developers need a way to access them without building from source. The previous screenshot-on-startup behavior was unnecessary dev noise.

No UI layout changes. The version number span gains a click handler (no visual change). When developer mode is active, a new "Developer Mode / Disable" row appears below the version row in About section.
