Tutorial: dxt

The dxt project is a security-focused utility for managing extension packages. It performs strict validation of manifest.json files and handles secure ZIP extraction to prevent attacks like "zip bombs" and path traversal. Additionally, it includes specialized tools for restoring Unix file permissions and generating standardized extension IDs, all while using lazy loading to minimize memory usage and startup time.
