Research direction

Start by reviewing how React's DEV mode is enabled through _G.__DEV__ and when that setting must be applied relative to React requires. Identify the project's documentation entry point, then document this behavior and decide whether related _G options belong in the same guidance. Done means newcomers can find and follow the setup instructions.

Description

Dev mode can be enabled in React by setting _G.__DEV__ = true, however this must be set before any React requires. We should document this behavior (and perhaps other _G options) so that newcomers understand how to properly use them.
