## Summary
Fixes#736 — OpenChamber listens on `0.0.0.0` (all interfaces) by default, exposing the server to the network without warning. The log output shows `visit: http://127.0.0.1:...` which is misleading.
## Changes
- **Default bind address changed to `127.0.0.1`** — server is only accessible locally unless explicitly configured otherwise
- **New `--host` CLI flag** — `openchamber --host 0.0.0.0 -p 8080` to listen on all interfaces
- **`OPENCHAMBER_HOST` env var** — documented in help text and docker-compose.yml as an alternative to `--host`
- **Docker entrypoint** defaults to `OPENCHAMBER_HOST=0.0.0.0` so container port mapping continues to work
- **Startup logs** show the actual bind address instead of hardcoded `localhost`
### Resolution priority
```
--host flag > OPENCHAMBER_HOST env var > 127.0.0.1 (default)
```
### What doesn't break
- **Desktop app** — already forces `OPENCHAMBER_HOST=127.0.0.1` via Tauri
- **VS Code extension** — doesn't use the web server
- **Docker** — entrypoint sets `OPENCHAMBER_HOST=0.0.0.0`, preserving current behavior
- **Tunnels** — cloudflared connects to `127.0.0.1` origin internally, works regardless of bind address
## Testing
Automated:
- `bun run type-check` / `bun run lint` — pass
Manual (CLI, direct `node` execution):
- Default bind → `127.0.0.1` (verified via `lsof`/netstat)
- `--host 0.0.0.0` → binds all interfaces
- `--host=0.0.0.0` (inline) → works
- `--host` without value → error exit 2
- `OPENCHAMBER_HOST` env var → respected
- `--host` flag overrides env var
- IPv6 `::1` → correct bracketed URL, health check 200
- CLI daemon start/stop → works
- `visit:` URL → correct
- Help text → `--host` in OPTIONS, `OPENCHAMBER_HOST` in ENVIRONMENT
- Browser UI → loads and works
- Tunnel via UI → works
- Desktop app → no regression
Docker (tested on Ubuntu with native Docker):
- SSH key generated successfully
- `OpenChamber server listening on 0.0.0.0:3000`
- Health check 200
- `uid=1000(openchamber)` confirmed
