cli/dev: os dev -p N without OS_PORT leaves the showcase self URL at 3000, so its self-ping connector fails fetch failed and /meta serves :3000 (the #7538 symptom on the port-flag path)

Filing gate: ① a defect with a named location, measured once at a public door. Filed by domain:server seat 2 from the out-of-scope findings of the #26130 os-dev report (comment 6421465244, out_of_scope_findings[1]). ⛔ Not a claim.

Business reason. os dev -p 41302 is the documented way to run a second instance on another port. On the showcase, every flow that pings the app's own REST connector then fails, because the self URL still says 3000. A developer reading FLOW_FAILED … fetch failed suspects the sandbox or egress, which is exactly the expensive misdiagnosis #7538 records.

Reader who acts. The seat owning packages/cli/src/commands/dev.ts and the header claim in examples/app-showcase/src/system/self-url.ts.

Measured

Reach (public door): on examples/app-showcase at ac8dadabc (PR fix(cli): os dev compiles the config before it boots, so served connector metadata matches dispatch #26240's head), os dev --fresh -p 41302 with no OS_PORT/PORT in the environment: POST /api/v1/automation/showcase_declarative_connector_ping/trigger answered 400 FLOW_FAILED with connector_action(showcase_status_api.request) failed: fetch failed, and /meta served :3000.
Reading of the code: dev.ts forwards the port to the serve child as --port and exports no OS_PORT, so resolveShowcaseSelfUrl() falls back to 3000 in both the config module and the compiled artifact. self-url.ts's header says it reads "the same names, in the same order, that the CLI itself reads to choose the listen port"; the -p flag is one of the CLI's inputs it cannot see.

Expected

On os dev -p N (and the same for os serve --port N if it measures the same), the showcase's self-ping reaches port N and /meta serves it, through one source for the listen port that both the CLI and a config can read; or the header claim in self-url.ts stops promising what it cannot see. The fix is the dev's to measure; ⛔ no second copy of the port precedence.
A pin: an os dev -p N boot with no OS_PORT triggers showcase_declarative_connector_ping successfully.

Dedupe

Searched this repo (open and closed) for "os dev --port flag without OS_PORT self url falls back to 3000, connector self-ping fetch failed": #7538 (closed: the hard-wired baseUrl, the root of this family), #26130 (the build-time /meta value with OS_PORT set), #24387 and #12662 (port parsing), none this defect.

⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

p2, a sibling of cli/dev: on an os dev boot with OS_PORT set, served connector metadata reads the build-time baseUrl (http://127.0.0.1:3000) while dispatch reaches the live port, so /meta disagrees with what runs #26130 (PR fix(cli): os dev compiles the config before it boots, so served connector metadata matches dispatch #26240): os dev -p N without OS_PORT leaves the showcase's self URL at 3000, so its self-ping connector fails. The port flag and OS_PORT should feed one boot port that the self URL reads.

Ruling-ref: triage 6422193836 — the port flag and OS_PORT feed ONE boot port that the self URL reads; on os dev -p N with no OS_PORT/PORT the showcase self-ping reaches N and /meta serves it (⛔ no second copy of the port precedence); a docs-only answer in self-url.ts is a fallback that goes to needs_decision, not the fix; os serve --port N measured the same and fixed through the same source if it shows the symptom
File surface: packages/cli/src/commands/dev.ts, packages/cli/src/commands/serve.ts's port resolution only, the CLI's shared port helper if one exists or is lifted, their tests (a pin and, if needed, a spawning integration test with its census entry in scripts/check-cli-test-child-env.mjs), one changeset; examples/app-showcase/src/system/self-url.ts's header claim only if the fix changes its truth. ⛔ No packages/spec/**, ⛔ no other examples/** change (stop on breach; explain in the report)

Resume-from: none — fresh start from origin/main once it carries #26240
Serial constraints cleared: ⛔ not yet — PR #26240 (#26130) is in the merge queue and changes packages/cli/src/commands/dev.ts: read and measure only until origin/main carries it. #26242 (claim on that card) touches serve.ts's dev door; the dev re-measures every open PR on packages/cli/src/commands/** before the first edit and before pr_create; whichever lands second merges main

The control, os start --port 41304, served :41304 with ping 200, because start already hands the flag down as OS_PORT+PORT (childPortEnv, #12992). Fix: that writer moves to utils/port-contract.ts as portFlagEnv, the one source of the port's environment. os dev hoists its port door ahead of the compile and merges portFlagEnv(parsed -p) into its own process.env, which the compile, the watch recompiles and the serve child all inherit. os serve merges it before loading the config when --port came from argv. With no flag, the environment is untouched. After the fix the same boots served :41302/:41303 with ping 200. No packages/spec change. The only examples/** change is the self-url.ts header claim, which is now true for the flag.

Each boot uses one reservePort() draw, ledgered in released-port-production-spawn.pin.test.ts (2 draws, with the reason: the config must know the port before the boot).

Landed: the port flag reaches the config through one source. os start's OS_PORT/PORT writer moved into utils/port-contract.ts as portFlagEnv, and os dev (before its compile) and os serve (before it loads the config) now call it too. On os dev -p N or os serve --port N with no OS_PORT/PORT, the showcase self URL and /meta read N.
Remains: none on this card. The busy-port shift it left out is cli/dev: when the requested port is busy, os dev serves on N+1 but the config already read N, so the showcase self URL and /meta point at a port nothing serves and the self-ping fails #26270, claimed and now unblocked. cli/serve: os serve --dev with OS_PORT set still serves the build-time connector baseUrl from /meta while dispatch reaches the live port (the #26130 split on the serve door) #26242 (PR fix(cli): a direct os serve --dev compiles the config before its dev artifact door serves it #26289) is accepted and enters the queue after this merge.
State: closed by the merge. The card thread is done.
