+
+The server is running. The issue is likely timing — the client connected before the server was ready. Let me try the connect command again now.
+
+**Bash**
+```json

+  "command": "luca connect",

+  "description": "Check if anything is listening on port 8099"

+
+Nothing is listening. The server process might have issues. Let me check the websocket client source to understand the connection mechanism, and also try running the server directly with bun to see errors.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca eval \"const s = container.server('websocket', { json: true }); await s.start({ port: 8099 }); console.log('listening:', s.state.listening, 'port:', s.port)\"",

+
+Interesting — the port comes back as 3005, not 8099, and `state.listening` is undefined. Let me look closer at how the server actually works.
+
+**Bash**
+```json

+
+The server is ignoring the port passed to `start()` and using a default. The port might need to be set in the constructor options. Let me test this.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca eval \"const s = container.server('websocket', { json: true, port: 8099 }); await s.start(); console.log('port:', s.port); console.log('state:', JSON.stringify(s.state))\"",

+
+Port 8099 works when passed in the constructor. Let me verify it's actually listening and test a client connection.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "lsof -i :8099",
+  "description": "Check port 8099"

+
+Good, it's listening. Now let me test the client against it.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca eval \"const c = container.client('websocket', { baseURL: 'ws://localhost:8099' }); await c.connect(); console.log('connected:', c.state.connected); c.on('message', (d) => { console.log('got:', JSON.stringify(d)); setTimeout(() => process.exit(0), 500) }); await c.send({ type: 'ping' })\"",

+
+Let me test with a raw WebSocket to confirm the server works, then figure out the client issue.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca eval \"const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8099'); ws.onopen = () => { console.log('open'); ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'ping' })); }; ws.onmessage = (e) => { console.log('msg:', e.data); process.exit(0); }; ws.onerror = (e) => { console.log('err:', e); process.exit(1); }\"",

+
+Server and raw client work. Now let me test the luca websocket client. The issue earlier was it connected but no messages came through. Let me check if the luca client's `once` method works for messages. Let me try the `connect` command.

+  "content": "# Lessons Learned — WebSocket Server & Client (Attempt 2)\n\n## What was built\n\nA websocket server (`luca start`) and matching client (`luca connect`) that share a typed protocol defined in `protocol.ts`. The protocol uses Zod discriminated unions so both sides speak the same language: `ping/pong`, `echo/echo:reply`, `status/status:reply`, and `error` for unknown messages.\n\n## What I struggled with\n\n### 1. Port must go in the constructor, not `start()`\n\nThe `container.server('websocket')` API accepts `port` as a constructor option, but `start({ port })` silently ignores it and falls back to an internal default (3005). I first wrote `server.start({ port: 8099 })` and the server appeared to start successfully — it printed a \"listening\" message — but nothing was actually bound to port 8099. The fix was `container.server('websocket', { json: true, port: 8099 })` followed by `server.start()` with no arguments.\n\nThis was the single biggest time sink. The API docs for `start()` show a `StartOptions` parameter type but don't document what's in it or clarify that `port` isn't part of it.\n\n### 2. `state` object is empty / undefined for some fields\n\nCalling `server.state` returned `{}` even after the server was actively listening and accepting connections. The state schema documents `listening`, `configured`, `stopped`, and `port` fields, but none were populated at runtime. Similarly, `client.state.connected` was `undefined` after a successful `connect()`. The state works as an event bus (events fire correctly) but the state *values* don't seem to hydrate.\n\nThis didn't block the build but made debugging harder — I couldn't inspect state to confirm things were working.\n\n### 3. `luca eval` can't import `ws` (or other native deps)\n\nThe compiled `luca` binary doesn't bundle `ws`, so `await import('ws')` fails inside `luca eval`. This meant I couldn't prototype a raw WebSocket client via eval to isolate server vs. client issues. I had to write a throwaway `test-client.ts` and run it with `bun run` to confirm the server was working before trusting the luca client.\n\n### 4. The client `once` method works fine — the problem was elsewhere\n\nI initially suspected the luca websocket client wasn't receiving messages. It turned out the problem was entirely #1 above (wrong port). Once the server was actually listening on the right port, the client's `on('message')` and `once('message')` worked exactly as documented.\n\n## What would have helped up front\n\n### In the CLAUDE.md / API docs\n\n1. **Explicit note that `port` is a constructor option, not a `start()` option.** A one-liner like \"Port is set via the constructor options, not via `start()`. The `start()` method accepts no options for the websocket server.\" would have saved significant debugging.\n\n2. **A working end-to-end example** showing server creation + message handling + client connection + send/receive in one cohesive snippet. The current docs show server and client examples separately, and neither shows the full round-trip.\n\n3. **Document what `StartOptions` actually contains** for each server type, or remove the parameter from the type signature if it's unused.\n\n### In the luca-framework skill\n\n1. **A \"websocket server + client\" recipe** in the references — something like the express endpoint examples but for bidirectional websocket communication. The building blocks are all there but knowing how they compose together requires trial and error.\n\n2. **A note about `luca eval` limitations** — which modules are available in the compiled binary vs. only available when running from source with `bun run`. This affects how useful eval is for prototyping.\n\n## What went well\n\n- The `container.server('websocket', { json: true })` + `container.client('websocket')` pairing is clean once you know the right incantation. JSON mode on both sides means you never think about serialization.\n- The event bus abstraction (`server.on('message')`, `client.on('message')`) is intuitive and consistent between server and client.\n- Zod discriminated unions for the protocol work great — `Request.safeParse(data)` gives you type-safe message handling with proper error reporting for malformed messages.\n- The command scaffold pattern (export argsSchema + default function) is simple and productive.\n"

+
+Done. Here's what was built:
+
+**`protocol.ts`** — Shared message types using Zod discriminated unions (`ping`, `echo`, `status` requests with corresponding responses)
+
+**`commands/start.ts`** — `luca start` launches a JSON-mode websocket server on port 8099 that handles the protocol
+
+**`commands/connect.ts`** — `luca connect` connects a client, sends each message type, and validates the server's response (4 tests: ping→pong, echo→echo:reply, status→status:reply, unknown→error)
+
+**Key gotcha discovered:** `port` must be passed in the `container.server('websocket', { port })` constructor, not in `server.start({ port })` — the latter silently ignores it. This is documented in LESSONS.md along with other friction points that could improve the framework docs/skills.
