gollark: I *also* had to patch over a bunch of debug stuff to make sure that unprivileged code can't read environments out of those too.
gollark: And can thus do actual IO when permitted.
gollark: They were defined in the out of sandbox environment, so quirkiness means that they get the unmodified global scope to see.
gollark: So it replaces the FS stuff the unprivileged code sees with its own hooks which ensure stuff is in the potatOS folder.
gollark: But PotatOS has to present an environment close to what a normal, potatOSless computer would have, for compatibility.
