## HTTP Routes

| Route | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `/` or `/ck:kanban` | Dashboard view |
| `/ck:kanban?dir=<path>` | Dashboard for specific directory |
| `/api/plans` | JSON API for plans data |
| `/api/plans?dir=<path>` | JSON API for specific directory |
| `/assets/*` | Static assets |
| `/file/*` | Local file serving |

## Remote Access

When using `--host 0.0.0.0`, the server auto-detects your local network IP:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "url": "http://localhost:3500/kanban?dir=...",
  "networkUrl": "http://192.168.2.75:3500/kanban?dir=...",
  "port": 3500
}
```

Use `networkUrl` to access from other devices on the same network.

## Plan Structure

The dashboard scans for directories containing `plan.md` files:

```
plans/
├── 251215-feature-a/
│   ├── plan.md              # Required - parsed for phases
│   ├── phase-01-setup.md
│   └── phase-02-impl.md
├── 251214-feature-b/
│   └── plan.md
└── templates/               # Excluded by default
```

## Troubleshooting

**Port in use**: Server auto-increments from 3500-3550

**No plans found**: Ensure directories contain `plan.md` files

**Remote access denied**: Use `--host 0.0.0.0` to bind all interfaces

**PID files**: Located at `/tmp/plans-kanban-*.pid`
