chore(ui): drop console.* and legal comments in production builds (#3728)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The web UI is a single-page app built with Vite and shipped as a
static bundle to every deployment
> - Production bundles carry `console.log` / `console.debug` calls from
dev code and `/*! … */` legal-comment banners from third-party packages
> - The console calls leak internals to anyone opening devtools and
waste bytes per call site; the legal banners accumulate throughout the
bundle
> - Both problems affect every self-hoster, since they all ship the same
UI bundle
> - This pull request configures esbuild (via `vite.config.ts`) to strip
`console` and `debugger` statements and drop inline legal comments from
production builds only

## What Changed

- `ui/vite.config.ts`:
  - Switch to the functional `defineConfig(({ mode }) => …)` form.
- Add `build.minify: "esbuild"` (explicit — it's the existing default).
- Add `esbuild.drop: ["console", "debugger"]` and
`esbuild.legalComments: "none"`, gated on `mode === "production"` so
`vite dev` is unaffected.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` then grep the
`ui/dist/assets/*.js` bundle for `console.log` — no occurrences.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui dev` — `console.log` calls in source
still reach the browser console.
- Bundle size: small reduction (varies with project but measurable on a
fresh build).

## Risks

Low. No API surface change. Production code should not depend on
`console.*` for side effects; any call that did is now a dead call,
which is the same behavior most minifiers apply.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context), extended thinking mode.
