Layer: 2 — Navigation & Document Experience
Parent: #343

Problem

When verifying implemented features, you need to visit the running dev version of the software in a browser. Currently there's no link in the dashboard — you have to navigate there manually.

Solution

Configurable dev URL per project — could be in .iw/config.conf or a convention (e.g., dev-url config key)
Show link on worktree card/detail when configured — opens the dev version in a new tab
Consider auto-detection for common patterns (e.g., localhost:PORT based on project type)

Intake: fixed by bb7a7bf92c

IW-652 (PR #683, merged to main) adds iw service add|list|rm, which declares a worktree's services. Every worktree card and the worktree detail page show these services as links, with a liveness label. This covers points 1 and 2 of this issue: you declare the dev URL with iw service add, and the dashboard shows the link.

project-management/issues/IW-652/analysis.md says that its Story 3 "supersedes map item dev-version-link (tracker #352)".
project-management/efforts/dashboard-control-plane/map.md marks dev-version-link as "Superseded by worktree-service-links", and marks that item done.

One difference: the declaration is per worktree, not per project in .iw/config.conf. Each worktree serves its own port, so a per-worktree link is correct. Point 3 (auto-detection) was only "consider". If you want auto-detection, open a new issue for it.

If this close is wrong, reopen the issue.
