Dynamically set snap grade
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request to dynamically configure the snap grade in snapcraft.yaml instead of the hardcoded 'devel' value, enabling candidate channel promotion. Currently triaged and open.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is fresh, triaged, and clearly scoped to replace the hardcoded grade: devel in snap/snapcraft.yaml with a dynamic configuration option. This is a valid feature request to support proper release channel management.
