Description
Say we tag certain folders "System". Can we deny delete and rename of such a folder only (while keeping that folder readable, and all contents inside the folder readable and mutable)?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the app's existing access-control behavior for tagged folders, focusing on whether delete and rename can be denied independently from read and content mutation. Done means establishing and implementing a supported rule for the requested combination, with tests covering folder readability, content mutability, and blocked delete or rename operations.
