// already produces for production (see next.config.ts's `output:
// "standalone"` and the Dockerfile's builder stage) as a child process on a
// random localhost port, then opens a BrowserWindow pointed at it. This is
// deliberately the same server, not a reimplementation - lib/jmap/client.ts
// and every app/api/** route behave identically to the web deployment.
