  All commands use the globally installed `peekable` CLI. Every command supports `--json` for structured output.
13
13
 
14
+ ### Pick the command first — running app vs. static HTML file
15
+
16
+ This section is the single source of truth for choosing between `proxy` and a static push. (Once you know it's a static push, "Share a file" below decides `push` vs `push-url`.) When this rule changes, change it here.
17
+
18
+ Before running anything, decide **what is being shared**. This is the most common mistake: reaching for `push` when the user has a live app running.
19
+
20
+ | What the user has | Use |
21
+ |---|---|
22
+ | A running dev server on a localhost port (Next, Vite, React, Rails, Django, split web+API…) | `peekable proxy <port>` |
23
+ | A static HTML file on disk | `peekable push` |
24
+ | A local URL returning complete HTML, where interactivity does not matter | `peekable push-url` |
25
+ | A video file or declared composition | the video flow below |
26
+
27
+ **When the user hasn't named a specific file, default to `proxy` if a dev server is running.** An explicitly named `.html` file always wins — push it. Treat these as `proxy` signals:
28
+
29
+ - They mention localhost, a port, "my app", "the site", "the dashboard", "the dev server"
30
+ - A server is **actually listening** — verify, don't assume:
31
+
32
+ ```bash
33
+ lsof -nP -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN 2>/dev/null | awk 'NR>1 {n=split($9,a,":"); print a[n]"\t"$1"\tpid "$2}' | sort -un
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ That prints `port<TAB>command<TAB>pid`, so the app is obvious (`node` on 3000) versus noise (`postgres`, `Docker`, `Raycast`). Read the port from the **address** column, never the PID column. If `lsof` isn't installed (common on Linux containers), use `ss -ltnH | awk '{n=split($4,a,":"); print a[n]}' | sort -un`. **No output means nothing is listening — that is a valid answer, not a command failure.**
37
+
38
+ A `dev` script in `package.json` is **not** evidence that a server is running — only a live listener counts.
39
+
40
+ **Before running `proxy` on a port you inferred rather than one the user named, confirm it** — see "Proxy a localhost app" below for the rule.
41
+
42
+ **If more than one port is listening, don't guess — and don't just ask "which one?".** A split web+API app normally shows two, which is expected. Identify the **frontend** port (the one you'd open in a browser — check the `dev` script, `vite.config`, `next.config`, or the port the user has been visiting) and confirm it as a proposal: *"I found web on 3000 and an API on 4000 — share 3000?"* Never pass the API port; the frontend's calls to it are tunnelled automatically. Only fall back to listing candidates if you genuinely can't tell which is the frontend.
43
+
44
+ `proxy` serves the **live** app — real routes, assets, interactivity, and its own backend calls (a frontend calling `localhost:4000` is rewritten automatically, no config needed). `push` only handles a single static HTML file and will silently lose all of that.
45
+
46
+ **A listening port does not override clear file intent.** If the session has been about a specific HTML file — you just generated or edited a mockup, or the user names one — use `push` on that file even if some server is listening; that server is probably an unrelated project. The proxy default is for the *ambiguous* "share this", not for overriding what the user is plainly working on.
47
+
48
+ **If nothing is listening but this is a web app** (`dev` script, `next.config`, `vite.config`, a `Procfile`), do not fall back to `push` — there is usually no HTML file worth sharing. Offer instead: *"Nothing's running on localhost — want me to start the dev server and share it?"* Only hunt for an HTML file when the project genuinely is a folder of static mockups. If you still can't tell, ask exactly one question: *"Is this a running app or a static HTML file?"*
49
+
50
+ ### Proxy a localhost app
51
+
52
+ When the user wants to share a live, running app:
53
+
54
+ ```bash
55
+ peekable proxy <port> --name "<name>" --watch ./src --json
56
+ ```
57
+
58
+ **`proxy` is a long-running foreground process — always start it in the background.** It prints the share URL as JSON immediately, then stays alive relaying traffic and never exits on its own. Run it with `run_in_background: true` (or `... &`) and read the URL from its first line of output. **A timeout is not a failure** — do not retry it in the foreground and do not fall back to `push`. The share stays live only while the process runs; tell the user that.
59
+
60
+ **Confirm the port before exposing it.** `peekable proxy` makes whatever is on that port reachable by anyone holding the link — there is no login in front of it.
61
+
62
+ - If the user named the port explicitly ("share 3000", "proxy my app on 5173") — proceed, no confirmation needed.
63
+ - If you **inferred** the port from `lsof` or from context — first state which port and process you found, and confirm that is what they want made public.
64
+
65
+ Never auto-proxy a port the user has not named or confirmed. Admin panels, database UIs, and internal tools commonly listen on these same ports and are easy to expose by accident. Note the tunnel also carries the app's own backend calls to other localhost ports (see below), so the exposed surface can be wider than the single port you pass.
66
+
67
+ `--name` is public — it appears in the share URL's subdomain (DNS and TLS SNI), so avoid sensitive names. `proxy` has **no** `--no-slug` flag; if the name itself is sensitive, create the session first and reuse it:
68
+
69
+ ```bash
70
+ peekable create "<name>" --no-slug --json # opaque hostname
71
+ peekable proxy <port> --session <id>
72
+ ```
73
+
74
+ Parse the JSON and present the URL to the user. The collaborator opens the URL and sees the full running app with the annotation overlay.
75
+
76
+ Use `--watch ./src` (or appropriate source directory) to auto-reload viewers when files change.
77
+
78
+ To reuse an existing session: `peekable proxy <port> --session <id>`. If that errors because a relay connection already exists (e.g. after a dropped connection), retry with `--takeover`.
79
+
80
+ **Split frontend + backend apps need no extra setup.** Pass the *frontend* port only. If the app's frontend calls its own API on another localhost port (e.g. web on 3000 calling `http://localhost:4000`), those calls are detected and routed through the tunnel automatically — cookie auth, login, and logout work. Do not ask the user to configure port maps, and do not tell them to share two sessions.
81
+
82
+ This requires CLI **0.6.1 or newer**. On an older CLI the frontend loads but API calls fail (login appears broken) — if `--json` returns a `cli_update` object, surface it before debugging anything else.
