Improve output when different parts list the same file
Metadata
Current evaluation
Collision diagnostics need clearer part, file, and conflict-type details; craft-parts now reports parts and files, but still groups content and permission clashes together.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, assignee, comments, or maintainer response. Current craft-parts code constructs detailed output naming both parts and conflicting files, but still reports only “different contents or permissions”; upstream triage is needed to decide whether that partially satisfies the request or whether conflict types should be distinguished.

keep open | Request to improve error output when parts list the same file with different contents/permissions. The PartFilesConflict error in craft-parts already includes part names and conflicting file list, but does not distinguish between permissions vs contents clashes.

Commit b93c135d made collision detection permission-aware and is reflected in the current PartFilesConflict reporting, although it does not separately label content and permission clashes.
