Add development scripts and Docker Compose configuration for local environment setup

- Introduced `dev-start.sh`, `dev-stop.sh`, `dev-logs.sh`, and `dev-shell.sh` for managing the development environment.
- Added `docker-compose.dev.yml` to define services for API and web applications with appropriate configurations.
- Updated `README.md` to include instructions for development mode and commands for managing the environment.

+### Development Mode (Recommended for Development)
+
+For development with live logging, debugging, and hot reloading:
+
+1) Copy env template and set values (for web/Supabase):
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# set VITE_SUPABASE_URL and VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY in .env
+```
+
+2) Start the development environment:
+
+```bash
+./dev-start.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+- Start containers with debug logging enabled
+- Enable hot reloading for both API and web services
+- Show all logs in real-time
+- Keep containers running for debugging
+
+**Development URLs:**
+- Web: <http://localhost:8080> (with hot reloading)
+- API: <http://localhost:8000> (with debug logging)
+
+**Development Commands:**
+- `./dev-start.sh` - Start development environment
+- `./dev-stop.sh` - Stop development environment
+- `./dev-logs.sh` - View logs (use `-f` to follow, `-t N` for last N lines)
+- `./dev-logs.sh -f api` - Follow API logs only
+- `./dev-logs.sh -f web` - Follow web logs only
+- `./dev-shell.sh` - Open shell in API container
+- `./dev-shell.sh web` - Open shell in web container
+
+**Debug Features:**
+- API runs with `--debug --verbose` flags for maximum logging
+- Web runs with Vite dev server for hot reloading
+- All containers have `stdin_open: true` and `tty: true` for debugging
+- Environment variables set for development mode
