Validate snapd payload
Metadata
Current evaluation
Task to validate snapd API return payloads in craft_parts/packages/snaps.py to prevent TypeError crashes when result is None. Filed by maintainer, unlabelled, unassigned, inactive 538 days; code still lacks validation.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Filed by maintainer sergiusens as a clearly scoped task with a concrete reproducer (TypeError on NoneType subscriptable at line 295). The current code in _get_local_snap_info and _get_store_snap_info still uses cast(dict, snap_info.json()["result"]) without validating the result is actually a dict, so the issue remains valid. No labels or assignee, but maintainer buy-in is implicit from authorship.
