description	Serve these IRS prototypes over a local HTTP server (http://localhost) so links resolve to each folder's index.html instead of opening the filesystem listing you get with file://. Use when asked to run, preview, or serve the prototypes locally.

Serve the prototypes locally

Opening the HTML files directly (file://) works, but clicking a folder link shows the raw filesystem listing. Serving over HTTP fixes that.

From the repo root, run:

./serve.sh           # http://localhost:8000
./serve.sh 4000      # custom port

serve.sh is a thin wrapper over python3 -m http.server that also opens the browser. If the script isn't executable yet: chmod +x serve.sh.

Then open http://localhost:8000 and navigate normally. Stop with Ctrl+C.
