Description

In https://tauri.app/v1/api/js/modules/fs#security, we are only told "if you need access to arbitrary filesystem paths, you must write such logic on the core layer instead" but what does "core layer" entail? Would we have to use Rust ourselves? Why make life difficult for us? This is such a nuisance in the name of security.

Research direction

Start at the linked v1 filesystem security page and inspect the explanation of arbitrary filesystem paths. Clarify what “core layer” means, whether Rust is required, and why the boundary exists, then update the documentation so the implementation boundary and security rationale are understandable.
