Section titled “Features”

  • Review a minion’s dev server on a real device. A minion can now register the port its dev server is listening on and hand back a URL you open on your phone. Until now the only ways to look at a web change were VNC and screenshots, and neither tells you how the page actually renders, how it behaves at a real viewport, or how it answers touch — the thing you are trying to judge is precisely the thing those two substitute away. The link is served from its own user-content origin rather than a path under the dashboard, so the absolute asset paths a dev server emits — /_next/static/…, /@vite/client — resolve on their own and the project needs no build configuration to be previewable. Reloading picks up changes; there is no live reload, since this is for reviewing rather than for writing.

    The preview stays behind the dashboard’s access rules. It is a separate origin, so your session cookie deliberately never reaches it; permission is decided on the dashboard and handed over as a signed code good for thirty seconds. Every request re-reads the share, so stopping one cuts access off at once, and a share expires by itself after eight hours. Registration refuses the runtime’s own ports and any port nothing is serving, and the agent’s credential is stripped before a request is forwarded, so code that is still being written never sees it. Names on the preview domain that are not live shares are refused rather than falling through, keeping the dashboard off the origin that carries untrusted output.

  • See what a minion is sharing. The minion’s Tools tab lists the dev servers it is currently exposing, each with the link to open on a phone and a button to stop sharing.
