 ## CLI Server Flags

+The bundled CLI server (`@neuralnomads/codenomad`) controls which folders the UI can browse when you pick a workspace:
 
 - `--workspace-root <path>` (default: current working directory) scopes browsing to a safe subtree. The UI can only see folders beneath this root.
 - `--unrestricted-root` explicitly allows full-machine browsing for the current process. In this mode the UI starts from the host home directory, adds a "parent" option so you can reach `/` on macOS/Linux, and lists drives/UNC paths on Windows. The flag is runtime-only—restart the CLI without it to go back to restricted mode.
