About mURL

A URL identifies one resource. An mURL identifies a logical destination:
murl://name resolves to a signed manifest describing a set of resources -
web pages, local files and directories, terminals, and nested mURLs - and
dispatches each to its handler under a consent-based security policy.

Resources are classified SAFE, SENSITIVE or DANGEROUS by what they are.
Nothing opens without the user's consent; DANGEROUS additionally requires
trust, so a terminal from an untrusted manifest is refused rather than
offered. No launch ever passes through a shell.

Resolving a remote mURL downloads its manifest over HTTPS from the host it
names, before the consent prompt. mURL has no telemetry; the privacy
policy lists exactly what is sent.

mURL is experimental: a working implementation of a proposed primitive,
not a standard, and the format may still change.

This package installs the CLI only. Making murl:// links clickable is a
separate, reversible murl os install - the package never claims a URI
scheme on its own.
