- **NEVER run your dev command directly** — this bypasses port allocation and will cause port conflicts
- Run `aigon dev-server start` — allocates your agent's unique port, starts the server, registers with the proxy, and waits for healthy
- Use the URL printed by the command — always use the allocated URL
- Use `aigon dev-server logs` to check startup output if anything seems wrong
- Test endpoints using `curl` or a REST client
- Ask the user to verify
