Notes

• Automatically discovers main.go files when no explicit main file is specified
• Uses the official go run commands in the background, but it can be overridden to use any other command
• When main option is specified, the serve command runs from the directory containing the main.go file
• If no main option is provided, the serve command will discover and run the main package in the project root
