Bug description

All of herds .test domains refused to connect after opening polyscope for the first time and assigning it to a Sites/Repo on my mac. claude helped me track the root cause to a malformed vhost written by polyscope.

~/Library/Application\ Support/Herd/config/valet/Nginx/silver-lobster.test

 1	server {
 2	    listen 127.0.0.1:80;
 3	    #listen 127.0.0.1:80; # valet loopback
 4	    server_name silver-lobster.test www.silver-lobster.test *.silver-lobster.test;

This whole file is a Polyscope placeholder vhost — root /, fastcgi_index "", SCRIPT_FILENAME "", the blank rewrite — it's a skeleton for a workspace that never got a real document root wired in. Broken as written, and it's been taking all of Herd down with it.

I fixed it by removing the file
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Herd/config/valet/Nginx/silver-lobster.test

However that gets herd working but not polyscope. I'm unsure why its causing a malformed vhost?
