Three-rule resolution order in bindAll() (first match wins): 1. USE_DEV_SEED === 'true' → bindAllDevSeed (explicit override) 2. NODE_ENV === 'production' → bindAllProduction 3. otherwise → bindAllDevSeed (developer default) Rationale: 'pnpm dev' should boot the app without requiring Payload to be running locally — dev seed is the more useful default for non- production environments. Production servers explicitly set NODE_ENV=production and get the real binding. The USE_DEV_SEED override remains the escape hatch (force seed in any NODE_ENV — e.g. staging preview, design review). bind-production.test.ts grows from 3 tests to 8 — covers the dispatcher matrix: - USE_DEV_SEED='true' wins even when NODE_ENV='production' - NODE_ENV='production' (no override) → production - NODE_ENV='development' → dev seed (default) - NODE_ENV unset → dev seed (default) - USE_DEV_SEED='false' treated as not-set (only the literal 'true' triggers) - Pre-existing 'binds all five repos' test now also asserts bindProductionMedia di-explainer.html conditions table + mode flag strings updated to match the new three-rule logic.
