Description of the need
Backdrop has a 'hidden paths' feature for nodes whereby you can disable access to a node's /node/[nid] page from unauthorised users. Basically D7's Rabbitt Hole module in core. However, Backdrop's implementation only applies to nodes. Rabbitt Hole allowed you to hide other entities too, like taxonomy terms.
Proposed solution
Make Backdrop's 'hidden paths' feature apply to taxonomy terms too.
Alternatives that have been considered
Rabbitt Hole has been ported to Backdrop, and looks to be largely unchanged, despite part of the functionality being in Backdrop core now...

I use Lando (a wrapper for docker) and find settings changes happen straight away
