Dev: admin seeding requires EXECUTOR_DEV_SEED_ADMIN=1

[RhysSullivan]

bun run dev silently seeded admin@example.com into every dev instance, which means developers never see the real first-run setup flow. Several first-run problems survived unnoticed because the team literally could not reach the new-user path by default.

Seeding is now opt-in: set EXECUTOR_DEV_SEED_ADMIN=1 to get the previous behavior (same default credentials). RUNNING.md is updated.

Heads up on the behavior change: every dev server now boots into the real first-run setup unless the variable is exported. If you relied on the implicit admin, add the env var to your shell profile.

Verified by booting dev servers with and without the variable. Typecheck is green.

Stacked on #1268.

Greptile Summary

This PR makes dev admin seeding opt-in so developers actually exercise the first-run setup flow by default when running bun run dev. Previously, EXECUTOR_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_EMAIL and EXECUTOR_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD were always injected, silently bypassing new-user onboarding for the whole team.

• vite.config.ts: The two bootstrap env-var assignments are now wrapped in if (process.env.EXECUTOR_DEV_SEED_ADMIN === "1"), so the seeded admin is only created when explicitly requested.
• RUNNING.md: A new bullet documents the default first-run-setup behavior and the opt-in variable, including the same credentials the code uses.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — the change is a two-line guard around dev-only env var defaults with no effect on production code paths.

The only files touched are the Vite dev config and a markdown doc. The guard logic is correct and the documented credentials match the code. No production behavior is altered.

No files require special attention.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
apps/host-selfhost/vite.config.ts	Wraps the two EXECUTOR_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_* env-var defaults in an EXECUTOR_DEV_SEED_ADMIN=1 guard, making admin seeding opt-in; logic is correct and the comment block above it remains accurate.
RUNNING.md	Adds a bullet documenting the new opt-in env var and the default first-run-setup behavior; credentials match the code defaults.
