docs: parallel desktop development guide + configurable UI port#4367
Merged
Conversation
Add docs/agents-development.md with instructions for running a second Electron desktop instance alongside an existing one (isolated Docker Compose project, separate ports, separate Electron user-data dir). Make the Vite dev server port for the desktop UI configurable via ELECTRIC_DESKTOP_UI_PORT env var (defaults to 5183) so two instances can run simultaneously without port conflicts.

When testing a feature branch while keeping a main-branch desktop running, you need isolated Docker containers, distinct ports, and a separate Electron data directory. This documents the full workflow including the env vars, compose flags, and teardown steps.
