For enhanced security, use system-level sandboxing: **Available options**: - **Flatpak**: Built-in isolation via Flathub - **Snap packages**: Application confinement with auto-updates - **Firejail**: Use this [script](https://codeberg.org/lars_uffmann/teams-for-linux-jailed) for manual sandboxing - **AppArmor/SELinux**: Most Linux distributions include these by default System-level sandboxing provides better isolation than Electron's built-in features while preserving full functionality. ## Advanced Usage ## History Read about the history of this project in the [`HISTORY.md`](HISTORY.md) file. ## License **GPL-3.0** — See [`LICENSE.md`](LICENSE.md) Icons from [Icon Duck](https://iconduck.com/sets/hugeicons-essential-free-icons) (CC BY 4.0) ", Assign "at most 3 tags" to the expected json: {"id":"6822","tags":[]} "only from the tags list I provide: []" returns me the "expected json"
