Should hidden files and directories be treated differently by the home plug

In principle I think the way to do this is to have the snap declare some
specific .files that it wants to see, as parameters on the interface.
This would trigger a one-time review, but assuming the request is sane,
those would then be granted.

The silversearcher example, though, is more interesting because it's
explicitly wanting to search dotfiles that belong to other apps.
