Subject: [PATCH 1/8] feat: implement local development server for website
 testing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add comprehensive local development environment with Flask server, CORS support, and user-friendly startup process. Complete PR #169 vision with minimal dependencies and production-ready local testing.

Key additions:
- deployment/local/simple_server.py: Flask server with health checks and CORS
- deployment/local/start-simple.sh: Automated startup with dependency management
- deployment/local/requirements-simple.txt: Minimal Flask + CORS dependencies
- README.md: Updated local development instructions

Subject: [PATCH 3/8] fix: address code review comments for local dev server

- Add symlink traversal protection to static file serving
- Improve port availability check for cross-platform compatibility (netstat, lsof, ss)
- Remove redundant f-string formatting
- Fix PORT environment variable validation to handle non-integer values gracefully

Security: Prevents serving symlinks that could expose files outside website directory
Reliability: Better port checking across different operating systems
Code quality: Cleaner string formatting and robust error handling

Subject: [PATCH 4/8] refactor: simplify file serving logic using Flask
 send_from_directory

- Combine serve_index and serve_file functions into single function
- Use Flask's built-in send_from_directory for better security and maintainability
- Leverage Flask's built-in path traversal protection
- Reduce code complexity and improve readability

The send_from_directory function provides the same security protections
against path traversal attacks while being more idiomatic Flask code.

Subject: [PATCH 5/8] fix: resolve unused argument warnings in error handlers

- Prefix unused error parameters with underscore to indicate intentional non-use
- Fixes PYL-W0613 linting warnings for not_found and server_error functions
- Maintains Flask error handler signature requirements while indicating unused args

This follows Python best practices for unused parameters in callback functions.
