linter with gpu-extension not relevant
Metadata
Current evaluation
Library linting emits false missing-dependency warnings for libraries supplied through the GPU extension’s Mesa slots; installed-snap linting is also requested. The issue remains untriaged.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The report provides concrete warnings such as missing libX11.so.6 and identifies Mesa slot libraries as unavailable to the linter, making it a plausible valid defect. However, the issue has no labels, maintainer response, minimal project reproducer, or defined expected provider-resolution behavior, and it also bundles a separate installed-snap linting feature request.

Issue body
oHi,
A 'gpu'-linter has been added with snapcraft 9.0+ to check whether the display libraries are called through the gpu-extension ; this is nice.
Yet, using the gpu-extension, the library-linter fails to output a relevant report as it cannot see the libraries dependencies through the mesa snaps slot.
Thus making it impossible to check automatically the dependencies.
e.g.
```

Would also be nice to add a 'snap' command to let devs/users run an automatically linter on an installed snap (in current context).
Especially with all the limitations for snap-as-libraries (one version installed, no possible version check) and extensions (forced to build with current stable main channel ; hard to track revisions changes at running).
