Launching the control panel

Launch the panel:

engram entry

engram entry starts a local server and opens your default browser at the panel URL. The command prints the Engram wordmark before the launch details.

Browser behavior

The panel opens automatically in your default browser. If it does not, copy the printed URL into a browser manually.

Local server behavior

The server binds locally so only your machine can reach it. It is not exposed to the network by default.

--host-only

Use --host-only to start the server without opening a browser tab:

engram entry --host-only

Close server flow

Close the server from the Close Server button in the sidebar footer, or stop the terminal process that started engram entry. Closing the browser tab does not stop the server.

Common launch errors

• Port already in use — another process is using the panel port. Stop it or follow the printed fallback instructions.
• Browser did not open — copy the printed URL into a browser manually.
• No workspace initialized — run engram inject first, or use engram entry from a project root.

Next steps

• Connections tab
• Construct tab
