Recommended action: Add explicit patterns for what you need (e.g. 'http://localhost:*' style full-URL patterns or 'file:///*'), avoid block_ip_addresses for local dev, and include redirect targets. Option: Add explicit patterns for what you need (e.g. 'http://localhost:*' style full-URL patterns or 'file:///*'), avoid block_ip_addresses for local dev, and include redirect targets. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Agent navigates to local files, IP hosts, or pages redirecting off-allowlist Steps: 1. Inspect the logged blocked URL 2. Add an allowed pattern (full URL patterns with '://' use prefix/glob matching) 3. Disable block_ip_addresses for localhost testing 4. Include SSO/redirect domains Expected: The error no longer appears. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
