(3 instances in Security Considerations and FAQ sections)Content Enhancement
Added a new "Common developer scenarios" section with practical examples that directly address developer needs:
sudo notepad C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
sudo npm install -g package-name
sudo diskpart
The new section includes a note encouraging developers to consider development environments and use elevated permissions judiciously, which addresses the original feedback about accessing system directories like
C:\Windows\
from development tools.These minimal changes improve the documentation's accuracy while providing better guidance for common developer scenarios involving elevated permissions.
Fixes #5450.
