Open and collaboratively edit a running local app in Design, with shared fallback previews and source handoff. Use when the user asks to inspect, share, or edit a real local app in Design. Use /visual-edit when the user wants to inspect or edit a real local app visually instead of generating standalone Alpine HTML. The source of truth is the running localhost app plus its route URLs. Design shows those routes as iframe-backed screens on the infinite canvas.
