Description
### Platform
macOS
### Operating system version
macos 15.6
### System architecture
ARM64 (M1, M2, etc)
### PolyScope Version
latest
### Bug description
All of herds .test domains refused to connect after opening polyscope for the first time and assigning it to a Sites/Repo on my mac. claude helped me track the root cause to a malformed vhost written by polyscope.
~/Library/Application\ Support/Herd/config/valet/Nginx/silver-lobster.test
1 server {
2 listen 127.0.0.1:80;
3 #listen 127.0.0.1:80; # valet loopback
4 server_name silver-lobster.test www.silver-lobster.test *.silver-lobster.test;
5 return 301 httpspasted10:36 AMClaude responded: Confirmed — line 27 rewrite ^ "" last; (and line 70).Identified broken placeholder configuration and prescribed remedial stepsIdentified broken placeholder configuration and prescribed remedial stepsConfirmed — line 27 rewrite ^ "" last; (and line 70). nginx 1.25.4 rejects the empty "" replacement, and that's fatal for the whole config. This whole file is a Polyscope placeholder vhost — root /, fastcgi_index "", SCRIPT_FILENAME "", the blank rewrite — it's a skeleton for a workspace that never got a real document root wired in. Broken as written, and it's been taking all of Herd down with it.
I fixed it by removing the file
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Herd/config/valet/Nginx/silver-lobster.test
However that gets herd working but not polyscope. I'm unsure why its causing a malformed vhost?
### Steps to reproduce

Research direction
Reproduce the first workspace assignment on macOS and inspect ~/Library/Application Support/Herd/config/valet/Nginx/silver-lobster.test, especially the malformed rewrite and placeholder values reported in the issue. Validate the generated vhost with nginx and confirm that Herd .test domains remain reachable while the Polyscope workspace works.
