## TL;DR
Tauri is a framework for building native desktop and mobile apps with a web frontend and a Rust-based backend. Public claims should map to Tauri's own architecture, process model, and security documentation.

## Core Explanation
Tauri apps render HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a system WebView while using Rust for native-side application logic. The split between core and WebView processes is central to the architecture, and permissions/security controls govern what the webview side can ask the native side to do.
