refactor: consolidate Docker builds by removing redundant Dockerfile.n8n
- Research proved n8n packages are NOT required at runtime for N8N_MODE - The 'n8n' CMD argument was vestigial and completely ignored by code - N8N_MODE only affects protocol negotiation, not runtime functionality - Standard Dockerfile works perfectly with N8N_MODE=true Benefits: - Eliminates 500MB+ of unnecessary n8n packages from Docker images - Reduces build time from 8+ minutes to 1-2 minutes - Simplifies maintenance with single Dockerfile - Improves CI/CD reliability Updated: - Removed Dockerfile.n8n - Updated GitHub Actions to use standard Dockerfile - Fixed docker-compose.n8n.yml to use standard Dockerfile - Added missing MCP_MODE=http and AUTH_TOKEN env vars - Updated all documentation references

## [Unreleased]
|
||||
|
||||
### Changed
|
||||
- **Dockerfile Consolidation**: Removed redundant `Dockerfile.n8n` in favor of single optimized `Dockerfile`
|
||||
- n8n packages are not required at runtime for N8N_MODE functionality
|
||||
- Standard image works perfectly with `N8N_MODE=true` environment variable
|
||||
- Reduces build complexity and maintenance overhead
|
||||
- Image size reduced by 500MB+ (no unnecessary n8n packages)
|
||||
- Build time improved from 8+ minutes to 1-2 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixed
|
||||
- Fixed missing `axios` dependency in `package.runtime.json` causing Docker build failures
