Developer confusion

Console may show CSP errors alongside CORS failures; triage CSP first when the blocked URL is not your API host.

Use nonce or hash scripts carefully—inline fetch wrappers still need connect-src approval.

Staging parity

Mirror production CSP headers in preview deployments so CORS tests are meaningful.

Document required connect-src entries for each third-party SDK your SPA loads.
