Start the server detached. Memory says long runs need DETACHED_PROCESS and port 8001. Command: use .venv python, web/manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8001, detached with log file. Windows detached spawn via python -c with subprocess creationflags. From memory pattern: spawn with DETACHED_PROCESS + log file and poll.

Starting the website server detached on port 8001.

Server is back up and stable — PID 24136, http://127.0.0.1:8001/ returning 200 on two checks 10s apart. The first instance likely died with its parent shell; this one is launched with `DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP` and `stdin=DEVNULL`, so it survives.
