CodeAnt-AI Description

Make TrueForge launch reliably on Windows and use a consistent port

What Changed

• TrueForge now starts from the correct project directory when launched through the Windows script
• The service always listens on port 8790
• Startup no longer stops immediately when an OpenAI API key is missing or still uses the placeholder value

Impact

✅ Fewer TrueForge launch failures
✅ Consistent access at localhost:8790
✅ Startup works without a preconfigured API key

Fix reliable TrueForge WSL launch and port binding

🐞 Bug fix ⚙️ Configuration changes 🕐 Less than 10 minutes

AI Description

• Launch TrueForge through a repository-relative WSL path without fragile path conversion.
• Bind TrueForge explicitly to port 8790, matching dashboard and startup URLs.
• Allow startup before API-key configuration so credentials can be added in the UI.

High-Level Assessment

The repository-root working directory plus a short WSL-relative path is simpler than converting Windows paths or generating temporary scripts. Explicitly setting the documented port and deferring credential entry to the UI directly addresses the launch failures without adding bootstrap complexity.

Make TrueForge startup independent of API-key setup

• Removes the launch-blocking API-key validation so TrueForge can open before credentials are configured. Explicitly binds the service to port 8790 while retaining optional '.env' loading and the existing host binding.

Launch the WSL script from the repository root

• Starts the new PowerShell window with the repository as its working directory, then uses a relative WSL path to invoke the launcher. This avoids fragile Windows-to-WSL path conversion and quoting.

Suggestion: Steps 5 and 6 install TrueForge in Ubuntu, but this command uses the default WSL distribution, so startup fails when another distribution is configured as default. [api mismatch]
