snapd (2.72+ubuntu25.10.2) questing; urgency=medium
* New upstream release, LP: #2124239
- FDE: support replacing TPM protected keys at runtime via the
/v2/system-volumes endpoint
- FDE: support secboot preinstall check fix actions for 25.10+
hybrid installs via the /v2/system/{label} endpoint
- FDE: tweak polkit message to remove jargon
- FDE: ensure proper sealing with kernel command line defaults
- FDE: provide generic reseal function
- FDE: support using OPTEE for protecting keys, as an alternative to
existing fde-setup hooks (Ubuntu Core only)
- Confdb: 'snapctl get --view' supports passing default values
- Confdb: content sub-rules in confdb-schemas inherit their parent
rule's "access"
- Confdb: make confdb error kinds used in API more generic
- Confdb: fully support lists and indexed paths (including unset)
- Prompting: add notice backend for prompting types (unused for now)
- Prompting: include request cgroup in prompt
- Prompting: handle unsupported xattrs
- Prompting: add permission mapping for the camera interface
- Notices: read notices from state without state lock
- Notices: add methods to get notice fields and create, reoccur, and
deepcopy notice
- Notices: add notice manager to coordinate separate notice backends
- Notices: support draining notices from state when notice backend
registered as producer of a particular notice type
- Notices: query notice manager from daemon instead of querying
state for notices directly
