## Description

Verso is a private web browser and Rust application designed for secure web browsing. It functions as a webview-based browser that embeds a pre-built engine to render web content without requiring a full browser source compilation.

The project includes a cargo dependency manager that organizes Rust dependencies into local source trees. This system enables isolated software packaging by downloading external libraries to ensure the build process remains independent of external registries.

The browser integrates a host-engine interface to manage navigation and user interactions. It provides tools for generating project dependencies and managing local source tree isolation.
