~/snap directory should be o0700
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed as stale without a final documented fix; snapcraft-desktop-helpers PR #218 was merged, while broader snapd remediation remained in PRs #9897 and #10992.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: The thread confirms that ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers#218 fixed directory creation in the helpers, but no final Snapcraft resolution established that the broader ~/snap permission problem was fixed. The item was later closed after prolonged inactivity, with snapcore/snapd#9897 and #10992 cited as follow-up work.
