### Troubleshooting

#### Windows Installation
If you are on Windows and encounter errors installing dependencies, we recommend using **WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)**.
1. Run `wsl --install` in PowerShell.
2. Restart and install the requirements within the WSL terminal.

#### Dependency Conflicts
If `npm install` fails, try clearing your cache:
```bash
npm cache clean --force
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
#### Authentication Loops (401 Unauthorized)
If you are repeatedly asked to log in or see 401 errors:
1. Clear browser cookies for `memsync.ai`.
2. Ensure the extension has permissions for your specific AI site (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.).
3. Log out and back in via the MemSync dashboard to refresh your session.
