Reprime detection
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer request for craft-parts to detect a rerouted prime directory and unprime before re-priming; still open, while snapcraft#4219 received a separate try-specific workaround.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The maintainer explicitly identifies the required capability and provider-mount failure mode, while the repository has a generic step-driven Executor.clean but no history of unprime/reprime support or changed-prime-directory detection. The requested outcome is valid, but implementation needs clearer semantics for detecting reroutes and cleaning state and content; snapcraft#4347 only addresses snapcraft try.
