Ah, after a week a light finally shines.

The closest thing I could see as an “error” was in the CLI.

Ember inspector never showed the route, and console never showed any errors or log messages.

So as far as I could tell the code was never getting to Ember.

Anyway …

I have 2 localhost Discourse installs. Both are  
Windows 10 → VMware → Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

One I followed an earlier version (sans the DO stuff) of  
[discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)

the other  
[Install Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian for Development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-for-development/14727)

The first I have been using more as a non-techy Admin to test Discourse operations and occasionally a “beta” plugin.

The second for “hacks” i,e. modified Core code, and “pre-alpha” plugins.

A reason is I want to keep the first as “clean” of my muddy footprints as I can, but also workflow.

For example, the first is  
tweak - push - rebuild app - test - repeat  
the second is the easier and faster  
tweak - exec rails s - test - repeat

Though you code does not work on my “hack” install, it does work on my “clean” install.

Other than the second involving Vagrant, a difference is the firsts root is “localhost” and the seconds is “localhost:3000” - _with a port number_

I did enter “3000” in Admin → Developers and Discourse uses it for internal URLs but I’m guessing the presence of the port has very much to do with the road block I was hitting.
