Troubleshooting

`sonos discover` - `no route to host`

On error Error: write udp4 0.0.0.0:64326->239.255.255.250:1900: sendto: no route to host (Command exited with code 1)
- Note that the port number after 0.0.0.0: is ephemeral and will change and the netmask may not match exactly either
- The sendto: no route to host should stay consistent
Advise the user that in direct (no Docker sandbox) mode on Mac OS that Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Local Network will need to be enabled for the top-level host parent process of the Gateway
- node if running via launchd
- Terminal if running the gateway directly in the terminal
- Visual Studio Code if running via terminal in VS Code
An alternative option is to use sandbox (docker container) with network access allowed for that sandbox

`sonos discover` - `bind: operation not permitted`

On error Error: listen udp4 0.0.0.0:0: bind: operation not permitted
Advise the user that they may be running via a Codex or other sandbox that does not permit network access (this can be replicated by running sonos discover within a Codex CLI session with sandbox enabled and not approving the escalation request)
