 ## Troubleshooting
 
 - Install fails with "server predates CCS Bar" or bar API returns 404: the CCS server running does not yet include CCS Bar. Update CCS (`npm i -g ccs@latest` or equivalent), then restart `ccs bar`.
-- Server failed to start: usually a port conflict. Free the port or re-run `ccs bar` to pick a fresh one.
+- Server failed to start: `ccs bar` first checks whether a CCS server is already running on the candidate ports (3000, 3001, 3002, 8000, 8080) and reuses it if found. A true failure here means a non-CCS process is occupying all candidate ports. Free one of those ports and re-run `ccs bar`.
 - App won't open (Gatekeeper): right-click and Open, or clear quarantine with the `xattr` command above.
 - Blank app: the web-server is not running. Re-run `ccs bar` and confirm `~/.ccs/bar.json` exists.
 - Quota not updating: re-open the menu to force a refresh, or confirm the server is still reachable on loopback.
