Subject: [PATCH] fix(portal): prevent /login redirect for client dev users
 when session.id is null
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When a client clicks "Abigail Brooks" in the dev login selector,
POST /api/portal/dev-session returns 201 but the session may not have
id set immediately (timing issue or API response). This caused both
CustomerPortal and Dashboard to redirect to /login because session?.id
was null.

Changes:
- CustomerPortal: don't redirect to /login for client dev users even
  if session is null — the dev-session flow has verified the user
- Dashboard: check for dev user before redirecting when sessionId is null

This ensures client dev users see the portal rather than being
immediately redirected back to /login.
