SNAP PACKAGING — GNOMAD DESKTOP ASSISTANT
=========================================

Snap is optional packaging for Ubuntu and other distros with snapd. Gnomad uses classic confinement because the agent runs shell commands, accesses the workspace filesystem, and integrates with the system tray.

────────────────────────────────────────

PREREQUISITES
-------------

  [bash]
    sudo snap install snapcraft --classic

Build on Linux after Tauri Linux dependencies are installed (see BUILD_PLATFORMS.md).

────────────────────────────────────────

BUILD
-----

From the repository root:

  [bash]
    bash packaging/snap/build.sh

This will:

  1. Run npm run tauri:build:linux:deb if no .deb exists
  2. Extract the .deb into a classic snap via snapcraft pack

Output: packaging/snap/gnomad.snap

Install locally (unsigned):

  [bash]
    sudo snap install --dangerous packaging/snap/gnomad.snap
    gnomad

────────────────────────────────────────

MANIFEST
--------

packaging/snap/snapcraft.yaml

  Setting      |  Value    |  Notes                                      
  confinement  |  classic  |  Required for shell agent + full home access
  base         |  core22   |  Ubuntu 22.04 runtime                       
  grade        |  devel    |  Change to stable for store submission      

────────────────────────────────────────

SNAP STORE (OPTIONAL)
---------------------

  1. Register the gnomad snap name on snapcraft.io.
  2. Switch to strict confinement only if you split agent features into a separate interface — not recommended for this app class.
  3. Use snapcraft upload after connecting the store.

For most users, deb or AppImage from GitHub Releases remain the supported path.
