finding: AGENTS.md documents the docs dev server on port 3001; `npm run dev` is bare `next dev` and binds 3000

[os-zhuang]

Observation, found while browser-verifying #87. Low severity — it costs one wasted fetch per agent, not correctness.

What is there

AGENTS.md, § Commands:

From `apps/docs/`:
- `npm run dev` — dev server on http://localhost:3001

apps/docs/package.json line 8:

"dev": "next dev",

Bare next dev with no -p, so it binds Next's default 3000. Measured — the dev server started for #87 logged:

▲ Next.js 16.2.6 (Turbopack)
- Local: http://localhost:3000
✓ Ready in 1033ms

A fetch against the documented 3001 returns nothing (status=000); against 3000 it returns 200.

Why it is worth recording

It is agent-facing instruction rather than published docs, so it misdirects exactly the reader who cannot check it cheaply: an agent following AGENTS.md polls 3001, gets connection-refused, and has to go read the log to discover the real port. The AGENTS.md rule it sits under is "test in a real browser before claiming UI work is done" — the friction lands on the one step the repository most wants agents to actually perform.

Two ways to close it, and they are not equivalent

• Fix the doc (3001 → 3000). One line, matches today's behaviour.
• Fix the script (next dev -p 3001). Also one line, and it makes the documented port true rather than the doc follow the default. Worth considering because several agents share one container here: pinning the port makes a collision fail loudly on start instead of silently handing the next agent 3001, 3002, … while every log still says "Local:".

Not folded into #87 — that card's surface is two content pages, and this is a repository-instruction change with a script option behind it.

Checked for duplicates first: no open issue in this repository covers the dev-server port.

First-touch grading (triage seat): promoted to pm:queue, type Task. Seat ruling between the card's two routes: fix the script (next dev -p 3001) — it makes the documented port true instead of making the doc chase a default, gives a loud failure on port collision in the shared container, and (bonus) requires no AGENTS.md edit at all, keeping this PR off the governed human-merge-only surface. If implementation turns up a reason the script must stay bare (e.g. a hosting constraint), fall back to the one-line doc fix and say so — that variant touches AGENTS.md and then rides human merge. Size: S.

Claim: PM loop round 4 (objectos dispatch seat, /pm-dispatch objectos invoked directly by the maintainer; execution lane per the Option B fold-in, objectstack#9551)
Session: session_01Yaqu7kmKZM3tRPd9Y4xivo
Branch: claude/issue-97-docs-dev-server-port
Worktree: objectos-issue-97
Domain: no domain:* on this card; executes in the domain:devx lane per the objectos fold-in (⛔ not relabelled — single producer)
File surface: apps/docs/package.json (the dev script) or AGENTS.md:79 — which one depends on the ruling, and they have very different landing consequences (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: S–M, mode:subagent, model: opus — the diff is a few characters; the call behind it is which of two things is wrong
Clause-②: no — local dev tooling / agent instructions; changes no contract accept/reject behaviour, widens no public surface
Serial constraints cleared: nothing in flight. Round 3's three PRs (#122, #118, #117) are all MERGED; origin/main is 69204ab. No open PR touches either candidate file.

Re-verified on origin/main@69204ab by this seat

AGENTS.md:79:- `npm run dev` — dev server on http://localhost:3001
apps/docs/package.json: "dev": "next dev" ← no -p flag, so Next binds 3000

Both halves of the card are exact.

⚠️ One piece of context the card does not carry, and it probably decides the answer. The documentation corpus consistently tells readers the platform runs on localhost:3000 — quickstart.mdx, index.mdx, build/marketplace.mdx, configure/mcp.mdx and configure/storage.mdx all do. So 3001 in AGENTS.md looks like a deliberate choice to keep the docs site off the port the product itself uses, not a typo. If that holds, the honest fix is to make the script bind 3001 rather than to correct the doc down to 3000.

⚠️ Landing consequence, flagged before any code is written. AGENTS.md is governed surface under the cross-repo extension that explicitly names objectos (objectstack#9551, PR #9558). If the fix edits AGENTS.md, the PR ⛔ cannot be merged by this seat — it stays draft and waits for the maintainer. If the fix edits only apps/docs/package.json, it is ordinary and I can land it. That asymmetry must not be allowed to bias the ruling toward the cheaper path; it is recorded here so the choice is made on the merits and the consequence is expected rather than discovered.

ACCEPT — PR #123 (reviewer of record: objectos dispatch seat, session session_01Yaqu7kmKZM3tRPd9Y4xivo). Governed surface ⇒ terminal three-step: the review conclusion is here, the PR is left for the maintainer, and it is listed in the round report under "awaiting a human merge". ⛔ Not merging, not enqueueing, not auto-merging.

My lean was wrong, and the refutation is decisive

I dispatched this leaning toward "the script is wrong, pin it to 3001", reasoning that the corpus documents the platform on localhost:3000 so 3001 must be deliberate collision-avoidance. I asked to have that broken if the evidence went the other way. It went the other way, and I verified every load-bearing claim myself:

• .claude/launch.json — shipped in the same initial commit that wrote AGENTS.md:79 — assigns the docs site port 3000 (autoPort: true) and reserves 3001 for @objectos/server. So 3001 is the server's number in this repo's own port map. Pinning next dev -p 3001 would have moved the docs site onto the reserved port — the opposite of avoiding a collision.
• git show 32894a5:apps/docs/package.json — the dev script is already bare "dev": "next dev" in the initial commit. No commit ever bound 3001, so AGENTS.md:79 was never true of any commit, not stale drift from a setup that once worked.
• README.md:79 ("Fumadocs site at http://localhost:3000") and apps/docs/README.md:7 ("localhost:3000"). AGENTS.md was one statement against three.

The consequence test is what settles it. Pinning the script would make AGENTS.md true while making both READMEs false — and ruling 3 forbade touching them here. Correcting the doc makes all four statements agree. Fixing one inconsistency by creating two is not a fix.

Motive is not intent — that distinction is the whole finding. The corpus really does put the platform on 3000, so my motive was real. But that platform is the reader's own runtime (.env.example OBJECTOS_PORT=3000, the docker-compose host port), never a process in this repository. The only in-repo ObjectOS process, @objectos/server, was pinned to 3001 and was deleted in #38. There was never anything here for the docs server to collide with.

Ruling 2 held under pressure, which is the part I care about most. I told it the doc route costs a human merge and the script route lands today, and told it not to let that decide. It took the expensive route because the evidence demanded it. A dispatch order that names the asymmetry only works if the agent then ignores it, and this one did.

Shape and gates

Draft, base main, Fixes #97, one file, +1/−1, exactly line 79. build completed: success on 0846b45. Correctly noted that translations.yml has a paths filter an AGENTS.md-only diff does not match, so that workflow never triggers here — and ran those checks locally anyway rather than reporting an absent gate as passing.

Measurement honesty worth recording. ss and netstat are unavailable in the container, so its two "port is free" readings were false negatives from empty grep input, not measurements — it said so explicitly and rested the conclusion on the server's own startup log (Local: http://localhost:3000) plus curl (3000 → 307 location: /docs while running, 3001 → 000, 3000 → 000 after a clean stop). Retracting a reading that would have supported its own conclusion is the behaviour that makes the rest of the report trustworthy.

Transient deviation handled correctly: running the dev server caused Next to rewrite the tracked apps/docs/next-env.d.ts; reverted before commit, absent from the PR, and filed as #124 — a real trap, since a following git add -A would sweep it into an unrelated PR.

What the maintainer needs to do

AGENTS.md is governed surface under the cross-repo extension that names objectos (objectstack#9551 / PR #9558), so this one is yours: PR #123, one line, green.

⚠️ Practical note: it is in draft, per this seat's standing prohibition on flipping governed PRs to ready — and GitHub will not offer a merge button while a PR is draft. You will need to mark it ready for review, then merge. Flagging the friction rather than working around it.
