It appears that I have screwed this up at some point in the past; most likely when I deleted the project on netlify.com and started over. The site referenced in the error message is not the site ID for the current incarnation of the project on netlify.com. I do not consider this a bug but it does pose the problem: “how to recover and start over” with Netlify Dev.
I am successfully using Netlify Dev on other projects.
