Features

#6: Remove limps serve and update CLI

TL;DR: Delete serve command, remove CLI bypass hack, bump to v3, add express dep. Status: GAP Files: src/commands/serve.tsx (delete), src/cli.tsx (modify), package.json (modify)

Steps:

1. Delete src/commands/serve.tsx
2. Modify src/cli.tsx — remove the serve bypass block (lines ~8-22 that detect serve in process.argv and call startMcpServer() directly bypassing Pastel). The start command doesn't need this hack because it uses HTTP transport, not stdio.
3. Modify packages/limps/package.json:
   • "version": "3.0.0"
   • Add "express": "^5.0.1" to dependencies
   • Add "@types/express": "^5" to devDependencies
4. Update any references to serve in help text, descriptions, or other commands (e.g., config command mentions serve)
5. Check src/index.ts — if it calls startMcpServer() for backward compat, update or remove

TDD:

1. serve is not a valid command → run limps serve → assert error or helpful message pointing to limps start
2. start appears in help output → run limps --help → assert start and stop listed
3. build succeeds without serve → npm run build → assert clean compilation

Gotchas:

• src/index.ts is a backward-compat entry for "bin" — may need updating to launch HTTP server instead of stdio
• Check src/cli/config-cmd.ts for serve references in help text
• Removing serve may break existing MCP client configs — this is intentional (v3 breaking change)
