- 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
