Permissions
INTERNET (Internet)
Ciyue uses WebView to display words in a dictionary, and WebView needs INTERNET permission to work, even if when displaying local data.
When checking for updates or requesting third-party services (such as AI Provider), Ciyue will use this permission. Ciyue will not independently initiate requests.
