Description
7888 is "free", at least in IANA.
Most users want to put an nREPL port on their app, and that should always be on a typical port. Auto-selection of a port is only desirable in tooling scenarios, and tooling authors can pass an argument to start-server.
This will change the behaviour of (start-server).

Research direction
Start at the start-server entry point and inspect how its port is currently chosen, then review nearby tests for default-port behavior. Done means (start-server) uses the adopted default while callers can still pass an explicit port, with tests covering both paths.
