From fab385a612ccb3139bcd4029a913801c0ab8d85d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: vadimwit Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 23:40:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix(dev): pin dev server, wait-on gate, and Electron loadURL to 127.0.0.1 With plain localhost, node >=17 can bind the Vite dev server to ::1 only; on this machine IPv4/IPv6 loopback mismatch made the browser, wait-on, and the Electron window all see connection-refused while Vite reported ready. Explicit 127.0.0.1 on all three ends fixes dev startup (user-verified: electron:dev window now opens).
