Start Broker

Check if the Walkie-Talkie broker is running:

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9900/health 2>/dev/null

If broker responds: Display the status (uptime, session count, queued messages, in-flight messages).

If broker is not running: Start it automatically:

bunx walkie-talk &

Wait 2 seconds then verify it started:

sleep 2 && curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9900/health

If it still fails: The user may not have Bun installed. Tell them to install it from https://bun.sh
