No doubt an unpopular opinion, but if I install an app that is going to do things in the background, I'm going to hold that apps developers responsible for any breaches. If Zed needs javascript to do its job, it probably should be downloading it from their own servers, or even better, just ship the editor with all the code it needs to do its job.

Yes, please ship everything that's needed because otherwise when I run your app in an isolated network namespace it will break. This also applies to builds. If I can't build your project from a clean git repo without internet access you are doing something wrong. (Yes I am aware that I likely just accused the majority of software devs of being wrong. I don't care I'm yelling at clouds here.)
