Recipe

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

: "${RADIUS_GROUP_ID:?Run this from a Radius group terminal}"
: "${RADIUS_TAB_ID:?Run this from a Radius group terminal}"

radius group rename "$RADIUS_GROUP_ID" "Development"

radius tab open "https://linear.app/linear/issue/LIN-111/welcome-to-linear"
radius tab open "https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/48091"

server="$(radius tab open "http://localhost:3000" --right-of "$RADIUS_TAB_ID" --size 60%)"
radius tab wait "$server" --load --timeout-ms 30000
radius tab focus "$server"

The server tab is created even when nothing is listening on port 3000. Remove tab wait --load if the server may start after the browser workspace.

Use project-specific values

Read URLs from environment variables so the same script works across projects:

issue_url="${ISSUE_URL:-https://linear.app/linear/issue/LIN-111/welcome-to-linear}"
pull_request_url="${PULL_REQUEST_URL:-https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/48091}"
dev_url="${DEV_URL:-http://localhost:3000}"

radius tab open "$issue_url"
radius tab open "$pull_request_url"
radius tab open "$dev_url" --right-of "$RADIUS_TAB_ID" --size 60%

Keep the terminal focused

radius tab open "http://localhost:3000" --right-of "$RADIUS_TAB_ID" --keep-anchor-active

The tab is created in the split, but focus remains in the terminal.
