Test with snapd on candidate or edge
Metadata
Current evaluation
Triaged enhancement to run a weekly spread smoke subset against snapd candidate or edge; the current spread configuration installs snapd without selecting either channel.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The maintainer-authored issue is labeled Status: Triaged and Type: Enhancement, and explicitly requests a weekly smoke test to catch bugs earlier in the release lifecycle. Current spread.yaml still runs `tests.pkgs install snapd`, while spread-manual.yaml schedules other tests without an edge/candidate snapd channel, so there is no evidence this was implemented.
