Node/Python proxy is Pro/Teams only. Free is deliberately one PHP project with no managed npm run dev: prove Native first, then buy the agency loop.
On Pro, the card Node proxy: port (3000), command (npm run dev -- --hostname 127.0.0.1), full path to npm if needed. Worker logs are on the card. Laravel API — a second project or an alias like api.shop.localhost.
Same pattern for Vite, Angular, Django/Flask/FastAPI (Python proxy). One hostname, HTTPS, no hand-rolled ngrok on 3000.
Stand up Laravel on Free. When Next must share the same .localhost — Pro.
