fix(client): improve Windows compatibility for Vite dev server

[gmh5225]

Localhost Handling: Windows vs macOS

Windows Behavior

1. Network Stack

• Defaults to IPv6 (::1) when resolving localhost
• More strict separation between localhost and IP address bindings
• Requires explicit permissions for network interface bindings
• More complex security model with Windows Firewall

2. Access Control

• Stricter access control policies
• Requires explicit configuration to allow applications to bind to all interfaces
• May require administrator privileges for certain network operations
• Different handling for IPv4 and IPv6 connections

3. Common Issues

• EACCES errors when binding to ports
• Permission problems with localhost access
• IPv4/IPv6 conflicts in network applications
• Needs explicit host configuration in development servers

macOS Behavior

1. Network Stack

• Unified handling of localhost resolution
• Seamless integration between IPv4 and IPv6
• More permissive default network interface bindings
• Simplified security model

2. Access Control

• More lenient default permissions
• Automatic handling of localhost-to-IP routing
• Better integration between different network interfaces
• Less restrictive port binding policies

3. Advantages

• "It just works" approach to localhost
• Better default security without sacrificing developer experience
• More consistent behavior across different network configurations
• Less configuration needed for development environments

Development Impact

This is why development servers like Vite require different configurations:

• Windows needs host: true to allow IP access
• macOS works without special configuration
• Windows often needs explicit IP addresses (127.0.0.1)
• macOS handles localhost resolution more intelligently
