Reliability: Hard-coded Python port range (5000-5100) may conflict with other services, should be configurable

[anshul23102]

Problem

Port range hardcoded 5000-5100 (main.js lines 16-17). May conflict with other services using these ports.

---

Recommended Solution

Make ports configurable:

const DEFAULT_PORT = parseInt(process.env.DEVSHELL_DEFAULT_PORT || '5000', 10);
const MAX_SCAN_PORT = parseInt(process.env.DEVSHELL_MAX_PORT || '5100', 10);
