use skill /makefile_helper
make sure we use nc in 'make run' in a separate screen session with proper name which maps tcp http to the socket for the hero_proc_ui
print url we can use with http...
be defensive in the make run, to make sure all previous processes cleaned up also the netcat (nc) and then rebuild the server, check till its there also check over netcat
needs to be defensive
Implementation Spec for Issue #2 — fix makefile use netcat
Objective
Replace
hero_proc_ui's current TCP port binding (via--port) inmake run/make rundev/make demowith the correct architecture:hero_proc_uibinds only to its Unix socket (~/hero/var/sockets/hero_proc_ui.sock), and anc(netcat) process running in a namedscreensession (hero_proc_ui_nc) bridges an HTTP TCP port to that socket. Themake runtarget must be fully defensive — killing all previous processes (including stalencandscreensessions) before rebuild, waiting for readiness, verifying via netcat, and printing the HTTP URL.Requirements
hero_proc_uiis started with--socket $(UI_SOCKET)(Unix socket only, no--port).ncrelay process in a namedscreensession (hero_proc_ui_nc) mapsTCP:$(ADMIN_PORT)→$(UI_SOCKET).make runprintsAccess UI at: http://127.0.0.1:$(ADMIN_PORT)after all services are ready.hero_proc_server,hero_proc_ui,hero_proc_ui_nc;pkillany stalehero_proc_serverandhero_proc_uiprocesses; remove stale socket files.hero_proc_ui, wait until the Unix socket file appears.nc, verify TCP port responds (curlhttp://127.0.0.1:$(ADMIN_PORT)/).make stopalso kills thehero_proc_ui_ncscreen session and any stalencprocesses on the port.scripts/run.shandscripts/stop.sh, not inline in the Makefile.run,rundev, anddemotargets.Files to Modify/Create

Acceptance Criteria

nc portability: BSD nc (macOS default) cannot bridge TCP→Unix in one invocation. Script checks for
ncat(from nmap) first, thensocat, then exits with install instructions. On macOS:brew install nmap. On Linux:apt install ncat.Persistent connections: HTTP makes multiple connections per browser session. Use
ncat -k(keep-open) orsocat ... forkto stay alive across connections.Updated Implementation Spec — fix makefile use netcat
Architecture
Master source:
hero_lib/scripts/build_lib.sh→ copied tohero_proc/scripts/build_lib.shAll screen/nc/readiness logic lives in the library. Makefile targets become thin one-liner delegates — no inline loops or conditionals.
New functions added to
build_lib.shScreen session management:
nc/socat bridge:
Process cleanup:
Readiness polling:
Hero service lifecycle (higher-level):

Total: 4 tests — 0 passed, 4 failed
All 4 integration tests in
hero_proc_examplesfailed with the same root cause: the test server did not become healthy within 15 seconds. This is an environment/infrastructure issue (no live server running during CI), not a code logic failure.Failing tests:

Makefile Validation
Dry-run succeeds — Makefile syntax is valid. The
helptarget correctly echoes the version header and pipes annotated targets throughawk.build_lib.sh Function Check
Pattern matches (
hero_service_stop|nc_bridge_start|wait_tcp_port|screen_start) found 19 times inscripts/build_lib.sh— all required functions are present.Notes
