## olef pane

Serve the live, interactive device viewer (video, touch, keys) on a loopback URL until Ctrl-C; or read what the person annotated or recorded in a running viewer

| Argument | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--port <PORT>` | Loopback port for the viewer (default: a free port) |
| `--json` | Accepted for compatibility; output is always JSON. |

### olef pane annotations

What the person annotated in a running viewer (its Annotate mode): each note's comment, the element and a selector for it, and the composables that drew it (file:line), plus an overview PNG of each screen with its notes outlined and numbered (and a crop of the tiny ones).
