What port does the API listen on? Check the workspace.
model
The workspace gives three different answers, so there's no single clean source of truth:

- **`config.json`** → `server.port` is **5000** (this is the app's own configuration for what it binds to).
- **`docker-compose.yml`** → the `api` service maps `"8080:8080"`, implying the container process listens on **8080**.
- **`README.md`** → says to open `http://localhost:3000`.

The most likely "listen" port for the API process itself is **5000** (from `config.json`), but the config, Docker setup, and README are inconsistent and should be reconciled.
