Description
### What
Add to settings an option to specify the PORT where a specific WordPress site is served from
### Why
Lately, I’ve been running into several conflicts between WordPress Studio sites and WordPress instances launched from Docker containers (via `wp-env`), mainly due to port collisions.
I’m not entirely sure how Studio assigns ports to each WordPress instance, but having the option to manually set a specific port would be extremely helpful to prevent these conflicts with other development environments.
### How
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Studio’s settings UI and the code that assigns ports to individual WordPress installations, then trace how a manually selected port would be stored and applied. Done means a specific installation can use a chosen port without conflicting with other Studio or Docker-based instances.
