Thanks @cryptix, I might need to reimplement that workflow on Patchfox from scratch for it to work. I'll try it later tonight or tomorrow.
As mentioned in another thread with @andrestaltz, I'm thinking that Scuttle Shell needs some love. On mobile it is best if the app bundles the server, but on desktop it is desirable to have many apps talking to the same server so that you can run them concurrently if you want. I don't see any other solution besides doubling down on Scuttle Shell for that.
