snapcraft and Snap Store validation rules mismatch for `classic` snaps
Metadata
Current evaluation
Classic snaps with managed unix sockets cannot be published: snapd's snap pack requires the network-bind plug for sockets, but the store rejects classic snaps with plugs. Triaged and blocked on snapd/review-tools (LP bug 2117121); maintainer keeping it open.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Maintainer @mr-cal explicitly triaged this (Status: Triaged, Type: Bug labels) and stated on 2025-07-17: 'we'll leave this issue open here until it's resolved between snapd and review-tools.' The fix is external to snapcraft (snapd validate.go vs review-tools policy), tracked in upstream LP bug 2117121, so it should stay open as a tracked blocker even though it has been quiet for over a year.
