Stumbled on this one entirely by accident. Creating folders/files is fine. If they're named "trust", though, I get a "Method Not Allowed". I guess we can say Jupyter Notebook has trust issues.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Jupyter Notebook's file browser by creating, renaming, and deleting a file or folder named "trust". Compare these operations with ordinary names and confirm the Method Not Allowed behavior. Done means files and folders named "trust" can be created, renamed, opened, and deleted normally.
