## Title

    [Chrome Local Network Access] 'Permission was denied for this request to access the `local` address space.' — web page/agent UI calling localhost/LAN servers (Ollama, dev servers, local MCP/HTTP tool…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Chromium classifies these as CORS errors of type kLocalNetworkAccessPermissionDenied / kInsecureLocalNetwork / kInvalidLocalNetworkAccess, independent of Access-Control-Allow-* headers.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Chrome version rollout details and enterprise policy names were not verified here.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - The request client is not a secure context and the resource is in more-private address space `
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chromium/chromium/9ac9e1044de400849af3353f9a9c87a8df8df455/third_party/blink/renderer/platform/loader/cors/cors_error_string.cc (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Messages for kLocalNetworkAccessPermissionDenied ('Permission was denied for this request to access the `<space>` address space.'), kInsecureLocalNetwork and kInvalidLocalNetworkAccess.
    
    Search phrasings: chrome local network access permission denied localhost fetch; ollama web ui cors local address space; private network access loopback blocked chrome
