Research direction
Start with the compliance tests in test-framework/sudo-compliance-tests/src/limits.rs, especially the linked sections around lines 6-44, 50, and 76. Run the relevant limit tests and inspect how rlimit_core is handled. Done means sudo-rs supports rlimit_core while retaining the sudoers policy that sets the core dump file size to 0.
