SNAP_REAL_HOME causes problem
Metadata
Current evaluation
SNAP_REAL_HOME set in HOME causes permission issues on empty folders; reported 3+ years ago with no maintainer engagement or comments.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: Issue is over 3 years old (1228 days) with zero comments, no assignee, and no maintainer engagement. The issue references a snapd team investigation request and a forum discussion, suggesting it may have been addressed elsewhere or is no longer relevant to the current project version. Without concrete reproduction steps or recent evidence of the problem persisting, the issue has become stale.

Issue body
If a snap has `$SNAP_REAL_HOME` set in `$HOME` variable, when the snap is opened, it changes the permission of empty folders, making them unusable. More about this is discussed in the snapcraft forum.

A further investigation is requested by the snapd team. Thank you.
