description	Launch and drive the knowledge-service (DEV, port 3466) to verify changes live.

Verify: knowledge-service (DEV)

Launch

From the repo root (NOT knowledge-service/ — the script lives at root scripts/):

cd /c/Users/szant/Documents/Development/nexus-dev
node scripts/dev-start.mjs        # DEV server on port 3466

• Boots in ~15s on this machine. Health: curl http://localhost:3466/health → {"status":"ok",...}.
• ChromaDB is usually not running here → in-memory vector fallback (fine for verification).
• Run it via the Bash tool in background; PowerShell piping of node output can crash.
• Auth env vars if needed: AUTH_MODE=open|required, MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=<master>, MCP_TOKEN_<NAME>=<token> (e.g. MCP_TOKEN_BACKEND).

Drive

MCP endpoint is JSON-RPC over HTTP POST:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3466/mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1}'
# tools/call: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"<tool>","arguments":{...}},"id":2}

REST surface: /api/* (projects, mailbox, epic-router, ...), public: /health, /ready.

Runner (local wake-up daemon)

cd /c/Users/szant/Documents/Development/nexus-dev
RUNNER_CONFIG_PATH='<path to runner.yaml>' RUNNER_TOKEN=<token> node scripts/runner-start.mjs

• Polls /api/mailbox/<terminal>/inbox?status=UNREAD and spawns claude --model <m> -p per task.
• For live verification WITHOUT burning Claude budget: point claude_bin in runner.yaml at a stub .cmd that echoes stdin (see scratchpad fake-claude pattern) — full chain runs, no real session.
• Set SPACEOS_ROOT explicitly when starting the server, otherwise mailbox writes land under a /opt/spaceos-derived path (and note: even with it set, POST inbox has been observed writing to Development\terminals\ instead of the repo — pre-existing quirk, in backlog).

Gotchas

• DEV = 3466; PROD = 3456 — never verify against 3456.
• identity.ts/terminalConfig still falls back to /opt/spaceos paths for terminal workdirs on this Windows machine (get_identity returns /opt/spaceos/terminals/<t> with null claudeMd) — pre-existing, don't mistake it for your change's bug.
• Kill the background server when done (TaskStop) — it holds port 3466.
