PR #2137 added automatic raising of the open-file soft limit at serve startup via libc setrlimit. The swamp-serve reference docs should describe this behavior:

serve auto-raises the soft limit to 8192 when the hard limit allows it
logs an info message when the raise succeeds
falls back to a warning with instructions when the hard limit is too low
no user action needed on stock macOS (soft=256, hard=unlimited) — serve fixes it automatically
users only need ulimit -Sn 8192 or LimitNOFILE=8192 when the hard limit is also restricted

This should go in the swamp-serve reference page under a "Resource Limits" or "Prerequisites" section.
