📘 Description
This PR resolves numerous console errors encountered during local development, primarily caused by misconfigured or missing environment variables for PostHog analytics and backend API connections.

The changes include:

  • Graceful PostHog Handling: PostHog analytics are now disabled by default in local development when NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_KEY is not provided, preventing 401/404 and MIME type errors. PostHog components now gracefully handle uninitialized PostHog instances.
  • Local Setup Guide: A new LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT_SETUP.md guide has been added to streamline the local environment setup, covering Supabase configuration, backend API instructions, and common troubleshooting steps.

🧪 Testing
The changes were validated by:

  • Running the application in local development mode with an empty NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_KEY to confirm the absence of PostHog-related console errors.
  • Verifying that PostHog components (provider, page view, user identifier) function correctly or gracefully exit when PostHog is not initialized.
  • Reviewing the LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT_SETUP.md for clarity and accuracy of instructions.
