Describe the bug

Production source code mein 60+ files mein console.log(), console.error(), aur console.warn() statements bina DEV guard ke hain.

Iska matlab ye logs production builds mein bhi run hote hain, jo:

• App performance degrade karta hai (especially Android)
• Sensitive data leak ho sakti hai (FCM tokens, API responses, user data)
• Sentry jaise crash reporters mein unnecessary noise create karta hai

Affected files include:

• src/components/ArticleCard.tsx (15+ unguarded logs)
• src/components/CreatePlaylist.tsx
• src/screens/NotificationPreferencesScreen.tsx
• src/hooks/useGetAllPodcasts.ts
• ...and 55+ more files

Expected behavior

All console statements should be wrapped with DEV guard so they only run in development builds:

// ❌ Current (runs in production too)
console.log('Article like success', data.likeStatus);

// ✅ Expected (only runs in dev)
if (DEV) console.log('Article like success', data.likeStatus);
