The desktop app used to crash (or silently hang ~60s) if something else on the machine already held the backend's port. It now checks before spawning the backend, and lets the user pick a free port instead — defaulting to one it finds automatically. Also fixes the free-port check itself: it was probing 127.0.0.1 specifically, which can report "free" even when the backend's actual no-host dual-stack bind would fail (observed with Docker Desktop's port-forwarding on Windows).
