🧠 tauri-plugin-hwinfo

A cross-platform Tauri plugin to fetch detailed system hardware information from the user's device, including CPU, RAM, GPU, and OS metadata — all accessible through both Rust and JavaScript/TypeScript APIs.

• ✅ Full Tauri v2 permissions support
• ✅ JS/TS bindings via @tauri-apps/api/core::invoke
