For the legacy Docker container-> runtime (`HD_RUNTIME=docker`) see the docker/ bucket.--## Core Principle: WSL2 auto-forwards `0.0.0.0` listeners--The HD workspace is a WSL2 distro (`Adom-Workspace`), not a Docker container.-WSL2 has a built-in localhost-forwarding feature: **any service that binds-`0.0.0.0:<port>` inside the distro is automatically reachable at-`127.0.0.1:<sameport>` on Windows** — no Docker `-p` mapping, no proxy hop-required. There is no port-mapping table to maintain; the port number is the-same on both sides.--The two corollaries that drive everything below:-- **Bind `0.0.0.0`, not `127.0.0.1`.** WSL2 does NOT auto-forward a-  `127.0.0.1`-only listener — Windows can't see it. A distro service that-  binds loopback-only is invisible to the host until you route it explicitly-  (see `hd-port-watcher`).-- **There are NO Docker port mappings.** code-server binds `0.0.0.0:7380`-  inside the distro and is therefore reachable at `localhost:7380` on Windows-  automatically. Same for a dev server on `0.0.0.0:5173` → `localhost:5173`.--## In-distro services (no port mapping needed)--| Distro Port | Service | Reachable on Windows at |-|-------------|---------|-------------------------|-| 7380 | code-server (VS Code) | `localhost:7380` (auto-forwarded) |-| 8765 | relay WS | bind `0.0.0.0` → `localhost:8765`, or `/proxy/8765/` |-| 8766 | relay HTTP | bind `0.0.0.0` → `localhost:8766`, or `/proxy/8766/` |-| 5173 | your dev server | bind `0.0.0.0` → `localhost:5173` |--All of these are also reachable through code-server's `/proxy/<port>/` URL-(see below), which remains the preferred path for browser-facing HTTP/WS.--## Host-Side Ports (Tauri app, native Windows listeners)--These ports run on the Windows host inside the HD Tauri process. They are-native TCP listeners on Windows — not inside the distro.--| Port | Service | Notes |-|------|---------|-------|-| 1420 | Dev file server | Dev mode only, serves `build/` |-| 8770 | adom-desktop direct connect | Owned by Adom Desktop, NOT HD |-| 47080 | HD discovery server | |-| 47083 | HD reverse proxy | Proxies to code-server |-| 47084 | HD control API | Health, setup, eval, CDP, `/wsl/status`, `/port-forward` |-| 47085 | WebView2 CDP | Chrome DevTools Protocol |--These are configurable via `%APPDATA%\hydrogen-desktop\ports.json`.--**Reaching a host service FROM the distro:** just use `127.0.0.1:<port>`. WSL2-**mirrored networking** shares the loopback interface between the distro and the-Windows host, so a Windows listener on `127.0.0.1:<port>` is reachable at the same-`127.0.0.1:<port>` from inside the distro — no gateway IP, no firewall rule, no-`0.0.0.0` requirement on the host side. (`host.docker.internal` is a Docker-ism HD-does NOT use under WSL2 — inside the distro it resolves to a *different* interface,-not where HD listens, so curls to it fail.)--## Hostnames — reach the host at `127.0.0.1`--### From inside the distro → host machine-```-127.0.0.1-```-WSL2 mirrored networking shares loopback with the Windows host, so `127.0.0.1`-inside the distro reaches Windows host listeners directly. The distro's-`/etc/hosts` also has `127.0.0.1 adom-host` (the non-Docker alias → loopback), but-you generally don't need it — use `127.0.0.1`. Used for:-- `ADOM_CARBON_URL=http://127.0.0.1:{proxy_port}`-- `ADOM_HYDROGEN_URL=http://127.0.0.1:{proxy_port}`-- Direct connect probe: `http://127.0.0.1:8770/health`-- HD control API: the live URL in `~/.adom/hd-control-url` (`http://127.0.0.1:<dynamic>`)--The control port is **dynamic per launch** — read it from `~/.adom/hd-control-url`-(your non-interactive Bash shells don't source `.bashrc`/`profile.d`, so the env var-alone is unreliable): `BASE="$(cat ~/.adom/hd-control-url)"`.--### From the host → distro services (via proxy)-```-http://127.0.0.1:{code_server_port}/proxy/{distro_port}/-ws://127.0.0.1:{code_server_port}/proxy/{distro_port}/-```-Example: relay health → `http://127.0.0.1:7380/proxy/8766/health`-Example: relay WS → `ws://127.0.0.1:7380/proxy/8765/`--This path always works for `0.0.0.0` AND `127.0.0.1`-bound distro services,-because code-server itself is inside the distro and proxies to them locally.-It is the preferred path for browser-facing HTTP/WS even though direct-auto-forward also works for `0.0.0.0` listeners.--### From the host → host-side services-```-http://127.0.0.1:{port}/-```-Control API → `http://127.0.0.1:47084/health`-Direct connect → `http://127.0.0.1:8770/health`--## Relay Architecture--The relay (`adom-desktop serve`) runs inside the distro on ports 8765-(WebSocket) and 8766 (HTTP). It binds `0.0.0.0`, so it is reachable both via-WSL2 auto-forward (`localhost:8765` / `localhost:8766` on Windows) and via the-code-server proxy. The proxy path is preferred for connection stability:--1. **adom-desktop on Windows** connects as a WS client via the-   code-server proxy: `ws://127.0.0.1:7380/proxy/8765/`-2. **Registration** happens via `server_add` on the direct connect-   API (port 8770):-   ```json-   {-     "name": "HD Local WSL",-     "url": "ws://127.0.0.1:7380/proxy/8765/",-     "autoConnect": true-   }-   ```-3. **Health checks** use the proxy path:-   `http://127.0.0.1:7380/proxy/8766/health`--This matches cloud containers where adom-desktop connects via-`wss://<slug>.adom.cloud/proxy/8765/`.--## VSCODE_PROXY_URI--Inside the distro, `VSCODE_PROXY_URI` is set by code-server:-```-https://<slug>.adom.cloud/proxy/{{port}}/     (cloud)-http://localhost:7380/proxy/{{port}}/          (HD local, approximate)-```--Tools that build proxy URLs should use `VSCODE_PROXY_URI` when-available, falling back to `http://127.0.0.1:{code_server}/proxy/{port}/`.--## In-distro command form--The workspace is a WSL2 distro, so you reach it with `wsl`, NEVER `docker exec`:-```bash-wsl -d Adom-Workspace -u adom -- <cmd>-# or, since the distro boots as root:-wsl -d Adom-Workspace -- su - adom -c '<cmd>'-```--## NEVER Do These--1. **NEVER bind `127.0.0.1`-only** for a service that must be reachable from-   Windows. WSL2 won't auto-forward it. Bind `0.0.0.0`, or register it with the-   port-forward registry (see `hd-port-watcher`).-2. **NEVER use `host.docker.internal` for distro→host** communication — it's a-   Docker-ism HD doesn't use; inside the distro it resolves to the wrong interface.-   Reach the host at `127.0.0.1` (WSL2 mirrored networking shares loopback); read-   HD's live control URL from `~/.adom/hd-control-url`.-3. **NEVER assume you need a firewall rule or gateway IP to reach the host.**-   Under WSL2 mirrored networking the host's `127.0.0.1` listeners are shared with-   the distro's loopback — `127.0.0.1:<port>` just works, no firewall allow needed.-4. **NEVER `docker exec` / `docker cp` against the workspace.** It's a WSL2-   distro; use `wsl -d Adom-Workspace`.-5. **NEVER hardcode port numbers** in distro code. Read from env vars-   (`ADOM_CARBON_URL`, `ADOM_HYDROGEN_URL`) or discover via the direct-   connect API.-6. **NEVER assume adom-desktop direct connect (8770) is owned by HD.**-   It's owned by Adom Desktop. HD's direct-api thread binds to 8770-   as a fallback but Adom Desktop takes priority when both are running.
