🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the example match the one-edit instruction.

The example keeps PORT=3001 and SERVER_PORT=3001 active on Lines 19-20. If a user edits only one line, the mismatch check rejects the configuration. This contradicts “a single edit is enough” on Lines 12-13. Keep one variable active and comment the alias, or instruct users to update both values together.

configuration so only one of PORT and SERVER_PORT is active by commenting out
the alias, while preserving the documented single-edit behavior and existing
server variable guidance.

Suggestion: When PORT is empty and SERVER_PORT is valid, nullish coalescing selects the empty value, producing NaN instead of using the valid fallback. [possible bug]

Keep port selection aligned with the Vite proxy.

When only PORT is set, Line 146 selects it, but app/vite.config.ts Lines 20-23 still target SERVER_PORT ?? "3001". The server can listen on the new port while the Vite app sends /api requests to port 3001. Resolve the alias in the proxy with the same precedence, or document that SERVER_PORT is required for the Vite workflow.

In `@server/src/index.ts` at line 146, Align the Vite proxy target with the port
precedence used by rawPort: when configuring the proxy in the Vite setup,
resolve PORT before SERVER_PORT and retain 3001 as the fallback, so both server
listening and /api forwarding use the same selected port.

Treat empty environment values as unset.

?? does not fall back for PORT="". With PORT="" and SERVER_PORT="4000", the guard on Lines 148-150 is skipped because the empty string is falsy, rawPort remains empty, and Line 156 produces NaN. Normalize or reject empty values before precedence and conflict validation.

default of 3001 and numeric parsing behavior.
