Research direction
Start by locating WasmKit’s public WASI preopens API and reviewing how preopen file-descriptor permissions are currently represented. Trace the host read-write descriptor path and define the API behavior needed to expose it as read-only; the work is done when per-preopen permissions can be specified and the resulting access is enforced.
