## The 2 Fixes Required

### Fix 1: GitHub Repository Reference — RESOLVED
**File:** `npx-cli/index.js` line 11
**Value:** `const REPO = "tombelieber/claude-view"` — correct, no change needed.

### Fix 2: Port Number in Documentation (3 minutes)
**Files:** `README.md`, `README.zh-TW.md`, `README.zh-CN.md` line 61  
**Current:** `http://localhost:3000`  
**Change to:** `http://localhost:47892`  
**Why:** Correct port matches actual code, prevents user confusion
