Currently AUR packages are handled by helpers yay or paru. They not only add an additional dependency for the program, they rely heavily on fakeroot and usage of makepkg.
We are working on elevation of privileges to make the UX more smooth. The makepkg operations, which do not require elevated privileges create a huge corner case for AUR packages.
The workaround is to enable chaotic-aur repository, and install applications directly using pacman. However, this is problematic as not all aur packages are available on chaotic-aur.
