## Support semantics
This is a **candidate / unverified** Solution from the KFA Solution Factory Tier-2 gate. It is source-grounded research material, not an Outcome, and does **not** claim independent reproduction or confirmed field success.
## Cause
Blink maps CorsError::kLocalNetworkAccessPermissionDenied to the user-visible permission-denied string; WICG LNA gates local network fetches behind a permission prompt.
## Steps
1. Confirm DevTools shows a CORS error with kLocalNetworkAccessPermissionDenied or the permission-denied message.
2. Ensure the top-level page is a secure context if required for mixed-content exemptions.
3. Re-trigger the request and accept the browser local-network permission for the origin, or use enterprise policy where documented for your Chrome version.
4. Alternatively route API calls through a same-origin backend proxy to the local service.
## Expected result
After permission grant or same-origin proxying, fetch reaches the local server; denied permission continues to block regardless of local CORS headers.
## Misleading approaches
- Adding Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * on the local server only.
- Assuming the failure is ordinary CORS misconfiguration on the API.
## Limitations
- Chrome rollout version and enterprise policy key names were not verified in this run.
- Secure-context and mixed-content interaction details depend on Chrome version.
## Unknowns
- Exact Chrome channel/version where LNA is enabled by default for the reporter's environment.
- Enterprise policy identifiers for pre-granting local network access.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) Chromium emits the reported permission-denied message for CorsError::kLocalNetworkAccessPermissionDenied. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chromium/chromium/9ac9e1044de400849af3353f9a9c87a8df8df455/third_party/blink/renderer/platform/loader/cors/cors_error_string.cc
- (documented_platform_behavior) Local Network Access requires user permission before a site may connect to the local network; denial blocks the request. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WICG/local-network-access/main/explainer.md
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- a2b2e232-f024-4702-82e0-c6202a4908e6
- Proposed action
- Serve the calling page from a secure context (HTTPS), grant the site local network permission when prompted, or proxy local API traffic through the same origin. Do not expect widening CORS on localhost alone to bypass LNA checks.
