Current evaluation

Opera and LosslessCut snaps fail to start on Wayland (ENOENT on /run/user/1000/snap.$SNAP/wayland-0). Misfiled to snapcraft but ask is a snapd change; maintainer asked whether it is app-packaging fault, unanswered.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue has zero labels, no assignee, and no maintainer conclusion: the body asks snapd developers to "add update of snapd" while being filed on the snapcraft tracker, and @~pritel's direct question — "Is this truly a bug with the individual application developers and not a fault within snapcraft itself?" — was never answered. The reporter's strace output does pin the mechanism (ENOENT on /run/user/1000/snap.opera/wayland-0 despite the wayland plug being connected), but snapcraft's own extensions/desktop/common/desktop-exports already contains the compat-symlink workaround for exactly this ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/../wayland-0 -> $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayland-0, comment: "until we use user mounts"), so the owning fix most likely lives in snapd's XDG_RUNTIME_DIR handling rather than this repo. Confidence is held back because I could not complete the remaining repo checks (tool errors: "No pinned SHA available for project 'snapcraft'") to confirm whether the desktop-extension path is actually used by these snaps.
