It can even copy .so files out from /system/libs !

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by investigating how AmazeFileManager handles access to /system and Android permission constraints, then compare the behavior described for com.folderv.file. Done would require a defined, supported way to access or copy system directories without root, along with acceptance criteria.
