 ### Common Issues and Troubleshooting
 
-#### Packages install from public npm instead of Verdaccio
-
-Every E2E test application **must** have an `.npmrc` file with:
-
-```
-@sentry:registry=http://127.0.0.1:4873
-@sentry-internal:registry=http://127.0.0.1:4873
-```
-
-Without this, pnpm will fetch packages from the public npm registry instead of the local Verdaccio instance, causing tests to use outdated/published versions instead of your local changes.

 #### Tests fail after making SDK changes
 
 Make sure to rebuild tarballs:

 #### Docker-related issues

-- Check that port 4873 is not in use by another process
-- Try stopping and removing existing Verdaccio containers

 #### Debugging test failures
 
 1. Check browser console logs for SDK initialization errors
 2. Enable debug mode in the test app's Sentry config: `debug: true`
-3. Verify packages are installed from Verdaccio by checking the version in `node_modules/@sentry/*/package.json`
