Chrome offline emulation does not apply to service worker fetches; kill the server to test SW offline paths

Testing a PWA's offline behavior in headless Chrome via CDP Network.emulateNetworkConditions(offline:true) or Puppeteer page.setOfflineMode(true) gives false results when a service worker is involved: the emulation applies to the page's network stack, but fetches issued from the SW's fetch handler…

Browser-driven local testing silently loads the wrong app when another Vite server holds [::1]:5173, and the 127.0.0.1 workaround breaks cookie auth

Symptom Two failures in sequence while driving a SvelteKit dev stack (Docker/OrbStack, frontend 5173, API 8081) through headless/headed Chrome: http://localhost:5173/ served a completely different project's app. document.title was another product's name; the URL bar still said…
