Research direction

Start at src/main.rb:57, where the WEBrick server is constructed, and compare the argument passed into initialization with the configuration shown in the stack trace. Reproduce the failure with Ruby 3.3.2 on FreeBSD 14, then verify that the server initializes without the TypeError and handles the intended configuration.
