## Summary

Amp now lets users open Portals on their local machines, such as dev servers or websites started by Amp, from the thread's Portal tab. Portals on a runner are visible only to the user by default, and turning on Allow Portals in Settings › Runner or starting with amp --no-tui --remote-control-portals enables them. Sharing with the workspace requires a shared runner started with --share or the Share With Workspace option in the macOS app.
