 Hydration failed because the initial UI does not match what was rendered on the server. The error occurred near %location%
 ```
 
+This warning is thrown when Svelte encounters an error while hydrating the HTML from the server. During hydration, Svelte walks the DOM, expecting a certain structure. If that structure is different (for example because the HTML was repaired by the DOM because of invalid HTML), then Svelte will run into issues, resulting in this warning.
+
+During development, this error is often preceeded by a `console.error` detailing the offending HTML, which needs fixing.

+```svelte

+
+`Child` is mutating `person` which is owned by `App` without being explicitly "allowed" to do so. This is strongly discouraged since it can create code that is hard to reason about at scale ("who mutated this value?"), hence the warning.
+
+To fix it, either create callback props to communicate via events with `App`, or mark `person` as [`$bindable`]($bindable).

 ### state_referenced_locally
 
 ```
 State referenced in its own scope will never update. Did you mean to reference it inside a closure?
 ```
 
+This warning is thrown when the compiler detects the following:
+- A reactive variable is declared
+- the variable is reassigned
+- the variable is referenced inside the same scope it is declared and it is a non-reactive context
+
+In this case, the state reassignment will not be noticed by whatever you passed it to. For example, if you pass the state to a function, that function will not notice the updates:
+
+```svelte
+<!--- Parent.svelte --->
+<script>
+	import { setContext } from 'svelte';
+
+	let count = $state(0);
+    // warning: state referenced locally
+	setContext('count', count);

+```svelte
+<!--- Child.svelte --->
+<script>
+	import { getContext } from 'svelte';
+
+	const count = getContext('count');
+</script>
+
+<!-- This will never update -->
+<p>The count is {count}</p>
+```
+
+To fix this, reference the variable such that it is lazily evaluated. For the above example, this can be achieved by wrapping the count in a function:
+
+```svelte
+<!--- Parent.svelte --->
+<script>
+	import { setContext } from 'svelte';
+
+	let count = $state(0);
+	setContext('count', () => count);
