Research direction

Start at the playground URL and trace the _syncStateFromUrlHash and _loadGist paths shown in litdev-playground-page.js, then inspect the GitHub API request for the reported gist. Reproduce the HTTP 403 and determine the expected behavior for this failure; done means gist loading no longer presents an unexplained unexpected error.
