Skip ports that Next.js rejects.

If PORT=6565 is occupied and 6566 is free, getPort selects 6566. Next.js rejects that reserved port instead of starting on 6567. Filter reserved ports from the candidates. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @packages/swingset/scripts/dev.mjs at line 6:
Update the candidate selection around getPort so it skips ports reserved by
Next.js and selects the next available non-reserved port instead. Preserve the
existing search range and occupied-port handling.

Keep the port range within valid bounds.

PORT=65535 makes getPort.makeRange throw before Next.js starts, even if that port is free. Cap the upper bound at 65535 and handle valid starting ports below 1024. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @packages/swingset/scripts/dev.mjs at line 6:
Update the port range passed to getPort.makeRange so its upper bound never
exceeds 65535, and ensure configured starting ports below 1024 are handled
without triggering range validation errors. Preserve the requested starting port
when it is valid.

Start Next.js through Node on Windows.

On Windows, the package executable is a .cmd shim. spawn without a shell cannot launch it, so the documented development command fails with ENOENT. Launch the Next.js CLI with process.execPath and handle spawn errors. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @packages/swingset/scripts/dev.mjs at line 8:
Update the child process launch in the development script to invoke the Next.js
CLI through process.execPath instead of spawning the next package shim, preserve
the existing development arguments, and handle spawn errors.
