description: Start the DevPlace dev server in the background and confirm it is healthy on port 10500.
allowed-tools: Bash(make dev*), Bash(mole *), Bash(sleep *)

Start the dev server and verify it is up.
1. Launch `make dev` as a background process (uvicorn with reload on port 10500).
2. Wait a few seconds for startup, then run `mole check http://localhost:10500` to confirm it responds.
3. Report the URL `http://localhost:10500` and the health result. If port 10500 is busy or the check fails, run `mole scan localhost --ports 10500-10510` to locate the live port.
Leave the server running for the rest of the session. Do not start the production target (`make prod`).
