Inference Snap Build And Test

Purpose

Execute end-to-end verification that the snap builds, installs, starts, and serves prompts correctly.

Host prerequisites (check before building)

snapcraft pack --destructive-mode builds directly on the host, so verify these first and stop-and-report anything missing rather than silently degrading:

• OS: Ubuntu matching the snap base (e.g. core24 ⇒ noble 24.04).

• Tools: snapcraft, snapd active, make, cmake, build-essential, git, plus smoke-test deps curl, jq, ss (iproute2). Install any missing.

• Root: --destructive-mode installs build-packages, so run it under sudo.

• Disk: compute the summed size of the model + all model parts/runtime components and require that much free space (where copies artifacts), not just the build dir. A large model can exceed a small container root FS; if so, stop and report that the root FS must be resized (or relocate snapd storage only with explicit approval).
