flocks dev --bind 127.0.0.1:7700
Runs gateway + coordinator + roost in a single binary. Process isolation; loopback only; all eight in-tree drivers wired in. Designed for building and breaking things while you write. Not the trust posture you’d ship to a fleet.

What dev enables

  • Single binary, single port.
  • The local auth adapter (any non-empty token is accepted).
  • All MCP built-in tools enabled.
  • SQLite coordinator at ./data/.

What dev refuses

Starting flocks dev with --bind 0.0.0.0:7700 is a startup error. Dev mode is loopback-only because the auth posture isn’t safe off the machine.
