## Description

Dhizuku is an Android device administration tool and system permission bridge. It functions as a device owner permission delegator that exposes restricted system-level capabilities to non-privileged applications.

The service enables third-party applications to access privileged device owner controls and execute restricted Android functions through a dedicated communication interface. This allows for the delegation of high-level system permissions without requiring a full system flash or manual setup.

The project covers device management and automation workflows by providing a mechanism for privileged API access and administrative control over device-wide settings.
