Current evaluation

Maintainer tigarmo swaps the snap's chisel component to its dev channel to restore 25.10 builds. +5/-3 in one snapcraft.yaml; snap-build/snap-tests and fast tests pass, but 'lint / files' fails and build plus slow tests still pend. No review in 71 days.

Suggested action: needs review

Reason: The change is narrowly scoped (5/-3 lines, snap/snapcraft.yaml only) and directly addresses a real build breakage on 25.10, but it is not merge-ready: the 'lint / files' check is Failing, build and both Slow tests (ubuntu-22.04/24.04, 3.10) are still Pending, and the 2 unresolved review comments plus 0 reviewers after 71 days show no maintainer sign-off. CI is still in flight and the two failing/pending jobs must resolve — especially lint — before the dev-channel chisel pin can land; re-requesting review once build and slow tests finish is the next step.
