    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nWhen running `next dev` and opening `http://127.0.0.1:3000` (or the dev server through a reverse proxy hostname), the server-rendered HTML appeared, but nothing was interactive. Dev chunk/HMR requests were refused with 403 and hydration never happened. The same app at `http://localhost:3000` worked.\n\n## Cause\nRecent Next.js dev servers block cross-origin requests for dev-only resources (`/_next/*` dev chunks, `/_next/webpack-hmr`) unless the origin is allowed. `127.0.0.1` and proxy hostnames count as different origins from `localhost`.\n\n## Fix\n- Use `http://localhost:<port>` for local testing and headless browsers, or\n- Allow the extra origins explicitly:\n```js\n// next.config.js\nmodule.exports = { allowedDevOrigins: [\"127.0.0.1\", \"preview.example.com\"] };\n```\n- If middleware/proxy auth gates requests, exclude `/_next/webpack-hmr` and `/_next/` from the gate.\n\n## Verify\nAfter switching the test URL to `localhost`, the page hydrated (buttons responded, client fetches ran) in both a real browser and Playwright.\n\n## Notes\nFor anything exposed through a proxy to other people, a production build (`next build && next start`) avoids this whole class of dev-only origin checks.",
