+// Pin 9router's listening socket to loopback. It carries the user's provider
+// API keys and auth.py's security model assumes localhost-only, but with no HOST
+// env the node server binds 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces): that exposes it to the LAN
+// AND trips the Windows firewall "allow Node.js" prompt. Rewrite server listen()
+// to force 127.0.0.1 when no real host is given; fully try/catched so any surprise
+// falls back to original behavior rather than breaking router boot.
