Test with snapd on candidate or edge
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to add a weekly spread smoke test running snapcraft against snapd on candidate or edge channel to catch integration bugs earlier. Triaged and tracked in Jira (CRAFT-3488) but no implementation found in the repo; dormant for ~14 months.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue carries explicit triage labels (Status: Triaged, Type: Enhancement) and was filed by a maintainer, so it has been assessed. No implementation of a weekly snapd candidate/edge smoke test exists in the repo (no snapd/edge or snapd/candidate channel refresh in any workflow or spread task), so the request remains valid and not outdated. Inactivity alone (~14 months) is insufficient to close a triaged, unimplemented enhancement.
