Disable default cleave server #368

Closed stuarteberg closed 3 years ago

stuarteberg commented 3 years ago

I learned today that if the NEU3_CLEAVE_SERVER variable is not set, then neu3 uses a default value. We probably thought that was a good idea when we first implemented cleaving, but in today's multi-volume, multi-team remote work environment, that default behavior just delays the proofreader from understanding that something is wrong.

Can we please just disable the default and emit an error as soon as possible if the user tries to cleave without a valid NEU3_CLEAVE_SERVER value?

The default server has been disabled and a warning message will be displayed for a cleaving task if the server is not supplied.
