Current evaluation

Resolved by Snapcraft PR #3439 (f5f6ed6fe), making desktop-extension fc-cache failures non-fatal; PR #3437 (90648ee08) added platform connection checks.

Resolution: closed resolved

Reason: PR #3437 was merged as 90648ee08 to check platform-snap availability. PR #3439 then merged as f5f6ed6fe, allowing font-cache generation to fail without aborting installation when GNOME platform content is unavailable.
