+### Troubleshooting
+
+#### I see "Forbidden access" when I load code-server in the browser
+
+This means your patches didn't apply correctly. We have a patch to remove the auth from vanilla Code because we use our own.
+
+Try popping off the patches with `quilt pop -a` and reapplying with `quilt push -a`.
+
+### "Can only have one anonymous define call per script"
+
+Code might be trying to use a dev or prod HTML in the wrong context. You can try re-running code-server and setting `VSCODE_DEV=1`.
