Research direction
Locate the dev-server startup entry point that prints the current bind address; no specific file or test is named in the issue. Check the existing host and port handling, then verify that the startup output shows localhost as the browser URL while retaining the actual bound address, including in the WSL2 context described.

Description
Chore
Describe the chore
When starting the dev server, the console prints the following message:
Server is running on http://0.0.0.0:1337
0.0.0.0 is the bind address, but it is not a valid URL to access in a browser. This can be confusing, especially in environments like WSL2, where accessing the API must be done through:
http://localhost:1337
Improving the startup log to display a browser-friendly URL would enhance the developer experience.
Suggested improvement
const displayHost = host === "0.0.0.0" ? "localhost" : host;
console.log(`Server running at http://${displayHost}:${port} (bound to ${host})`);
Additional context
Running on WSL2 (Ubuntu)
Node v20
Initially thought server was unreachable because browser cannot open http://0.0.0.0:1337
Add any other context or screenshots that help clarify the task.
