Description

Since My Site has been deprecated, users can now update their tasks only via the Status Site. Requiring a dev flag for task updates is no longer valid behavior. The functionality should work without any environment-specific flags.

Walkthrough

This change simplifies the task update logic in TaskStatusEditMode by removing the dev mode requirement from the conditional branch. Now updateSelfTask is invoked based solely on ownership status (isSelfTask), rather than the conjunction of dev mode and ownership.

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Task Status Edit Mode src/components/tasks/card/TaskStatusEditMode.tsx	Removed dev mode check from task update conditional; now uses updateSelfTask based only on isSelfTask status
