Description

Automatically try the next available port by default, if the port is already being used, like Vite. Vite has a second option to disable this behavior, if necessary.

Useful when there are other moving parts in the system, and you just want to trunk serve --open.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how Vite implements automatic port fallback, then locate the server initialization in trunk's source and modify it to try subsequent ports if the default is occupied.
