docs: update .env.example and README to reflect VERBOSE and current defaults

- .env.example: add VERBOSE, remove active AUTO_MODE=true (now TTY-detected),
  comment out FORCE_CPU/ENABLE_CACHE default values, update CRON_SCHEDULE
  section to document all three modes
- README: clarify that log file is always DEBUG regardless of VERBOSE
