NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV="development" in .env not respected when npm run start

Please check that this issue hasn't been reported before.

• [X] I searched previous Bug Reports didn't find any similar reports.

Expected Behavior

I essentially want to login as local auth even when npm run start, (because dev no opt the frontend web page is just way toooo slow!)

While in .env

# Deployment Environment:
NODE_ENV="development"
NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV="${NODE_ENV}"

with npm run dev, all is fine

But when running with npm run start, NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV switched to production, not respecting what .env tells it to be!

I have to manually modify code to make local auth work with optimized front end code

Current behaviour

v1.0.0 release commit

Steps to reproduce
