Both write to stderr and + return cleanly, so the daemon thread lifecycle is fully deterministic. +- The TOCTOU window between `is_port_available()` and `uvicorn.run()` is now fully handled: + pre-check prevents the common case; `SystemExit` catch handles the race. +- No changes to `__main__.py` were needed — the fix is entirely within `server.py`. + +--- + +### Tests + +- 42 tests in `test_main_webui.py` (was 41), all pass. +- 472 total tests pass, 5 skipped. +- Coverage: 95.6% (≥90% required). +- `PytestUnhandledThreadExceptionWarning` about port 8080 is resolved — no longer appears in CI. + +--- + +### Next Steps + +- No actionable follow-up items. FOLLOW-UP step is skipped per FLOW rules (no findings require + new workplan tasks).
