+1. Sharing vocabulary is better.

Where does CSP fall with a SW? Does it run after the SW or before SW?
I.e., if SW makes a request to alice.com will the page's CSP apply to
that request? If a page makes a request to alice.com, will CSP apply
before the request hits the SW?

I don't understand this paragraph. Can you explain further?
