 `<NAME>` is normalized from the script name by uppercasing it, replacing each run of non-`A-Z0-9` characters with `_`, and trimming leading or trailing `_`. For example, `app-server` and `app.server` both normalize to `APP_SERVER`; that collision fails at spawn time with an actionable error.
 
 `PORT` is not injected by default. If a framework requires `PORT`, set it in the command:

 # Service Proxy
 
-Paseo can proxy HTTP traffic to services running inside your workspaces and expose them at stable, publicly-accessible URLs. This lets you open a running dev server from your phone or share it with a teammate without any tunneling tools.
+Paseo proxies HTTP traffic to services running inside your workspaces. Localhost service URLs are always enabled; optional public aliases and a separate service-only listener can be layered on through config.
 
 ## How it works
 
@@ -9,22 +9,22 @@ When a `paseo.json` script of `"type": "service"` starts, Paseo assigns it a loc
 The generated hostname is built from the script name, branch, and project:
 
 ```
-<script>--<branch>--<project>.<base-domain>
+<script>--<branch>--<project>.localhost
 ```
 
 If the branch is `main` or `master`, the branch segment is omitted:
 
 ```
-<script>--<project>.<base-domain>
+<script>--<project>.localhost
 ```
 
 **Example:** a script named `dev` in the `miniweb` project on branch `feature/auth` would be reachable at:
 
 ```
-dev--feature-auth--miniweb.paseoapps.my.domain.com
+dev--feature-auth--miniweb.localhost
 ```
 
-The public route uses one combined leftmost label (`script--branch--project`) rather than the local development shape (`script.branch.project.localhost`). This is intentional: dotted script/branch/project hostnames would require multi-level wildcard DNS and certificates for arbitrary branch names, while a single label works with normal `*.base-domain` DNS and wildcard TLS. If the combined label would exceed DNS's 63-character label limit, Paseo truncates it.
+Local and public routes use one combined leftmost label (`script--branch--project`). This keeps the hostname compatible with normal single-level wildcard DNS and TLS. If the combined label would exceed DNS's 63-character label limit, Paseo truncates it with a deterministic hash suffix to avoid collisions.
