…lation - Remove ConfigCat feature flag dependency for minimal mode detection - gitpod.io: always use minimal mode (synchronous, no network call) - Preview environments: use isDedicatedInstallation with localStorage caching - Dedicated/self-hosted: never use minimal mode - Replace document.write() with innerHTML to avoid deprecation issues - Change GITPOD_WITH_DEDICATED_EMU default to true in preview deployments The localStorage override (minimal_gitpod_io_mode=true/false) still works for testing.
