fix: Refetch previews on start and switch to path-based routing

Two fixes:
- Call previewsQuery.refetch() in startPreview.onSuccess so the UI
  transitions from "building" to the preview link without a page refresh.
- Switch from subdomain routing (*.localhost) to path-based routing
  (localhost:<port>/<id>/) since macOS doesn't resolve wildcard
  localhost subdomains.
