Conversation
The API server constants define a fixed port (19828) and bind to 127.0.0.1. This creates a predictable attack surface if the API server is ever exposed beyond localhost. Additionally, hardcoded ports can lead to conflicts and there's no fallback or dynamic port allocation mechanism.

Problem
The API server constants define a fixed port (19828) and bind to 127.0.0.1. This creates a predictable attack surface if the API server is ever exposed beyond localhost. Additionally, hardcoded ports can lead to conflicts and there's no fallback or dynamic port allocation mechanism.

Consider making the port configurable via environment variables or user settings, and implement port conflict detection with fallback to dynamic port allocation. Add binding to a Unix socket or named pipe for more secure local communication.
