Gateway
The local HTTP server the desktop app exposes on 127.0.0.1.
The gateway is the local HTTP server the desktop app runs on 127.0.0.1 (port 19432 by default). Every cloud-issued operation that touches your machine goes through it.
It is authenticated (internal token, browser session token, or dev debug token), CORS-checked, sandbox-verified, and approval-gated.
