Allow staging snap components
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to extend stage-snaps to stage snap components (snap+component syntax) for composing ROCKs/composite snaps. Triaged and acknowledged; upstream work in craft-parts#1604 is a draft on hold pending component access/management design.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is labelled Status: Triaged and maintainer @mr-cal has engaged across three comments, most recently (2026-08-25, 6 days ago) confirming upstream work exists in craft-parts#1604 and explaining it is on hold pending how components should be accessed and managed. The reporter also supplied a concrete rockcraft.yaml reproducer (gemma3 components), so the request is well-scoped and valid; it should stay open while the blocked upstream design work is resolved.

Maintainer @mr-cal explicitly stated 'We have some upstream work for this in https://github.com/canonical/craft-parts/pull/1604. This effort is currently on hold until we figure out how components should be accessed and managed.' The PR is open but a draft, so this feature cannot land until it does.
