Close all other fds between fork and exec then (you can look at the code of base::LaunchProcess in Chromium for an example). It’s a minuscule amount of code to audit compared to XDG portals. And it’s backwards-compatible with decades of uni

It's doable by opening the file in a privileged process (sudo) and passing the file descriptor to a non-privileged process. Maybe one could make a sudoedit that opens a file in sudo process and then spawns a non-privileged editor proce

You would need to do the same in C++, since the underlying dynamic array is being resized throughout the algorithm, i.e. pointers to its elements are being invalidated. Except C++ won’t warn you about it. You’ll just corrupt memory. And in
