Current evaluation

Snapcraft skips the pull step for git-source parts after new commits, using stale source. Reported 9 years ago with clear repro; no labels, comments, or maintainer interaction since.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue has zero labels, zero comments, and no maintainer interaction in 3336 days, showing no sign of ever being triaged. The related Launchpad bug #1704103 remains open, so the underlying problem may still be relevant to the current craft-parts-based codebase, but no one has assessed whether it persists or was fixed during the architectural transition.
