Built executable is not copied to prime/bin/
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft 2.43.1 fails on missing prime/bin/prettier although build/bin contains only prettier.js. The report suggests a command/config mismatch, but lacks project files or maintainer triage.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The traceback looks for prime/bin/prettier while the report explicitly says build/bin contained only prettier.js, so Snapcraft had no executable named prettier to copy. However, no snapcraft.yaml or package.json was attached and the unlabelled issue has no maintainer response; confirm whether the app should invoke the JavaScript through node or generate a wrapper before closing it.
