Pass daemon flags after `--`, pointing the UI at the socket the daemon serves:
```
task dev -- --daemon-addr=tcp://127.0.0.1:41731
task dev -- --daemon-addr=unix:///var/run/netbird.sock # Linux, macOS
task dev -- --daemon-addr=npipe://netbird # Windows
```
On Windows the daemon serves a named pipe (`npipe://netbird`). Which path that
ends up being depends on what the daemon may create: as a service or elevated it
serves `\\.\pipe\ProtectedPrefix\Administrators\netbird`, which no unprivileged
process can take from it, and otherwise it falls back to `\\.\pipe\netbird`.
Clients try both and check who owns the pipe before using the plain one. Avoid
`tcp://127.0.0.1:41731`: loopback TCP carries no caller identity, so the daemon
refuses the operations that require an administrator and you will not exercise
those paths.
