Not an issue

Definitely not an issue: more a curiosity. I am intrigued by this line:

Jarvis/Source/Jarvis.dyalog

Line 479 in 8c53cea

Connections←#.⎕NS''

Why the #.? I have very similar code in one of my projects (unsurprisingly since I copied it from JsonServer) but I don't think I went for the "#.". Is there a good reason to create that particular namespace as a child of root?
Thank you!

The namespace is created relative to your current path, which can greatly affect your variable environment depending on the code you want to write. Using # guarantees that the namespace is created in a location that does not expose the same tree of environments that might otherwise be created.

Thank you, but I know all that. I am interested specifically in why that particular namespace was created as a child of root.

I expect the assignment to # was a remnant from earlier server versions, but it would probably make sense to make it a field inside the Jarvis instance.
