I think that's done it --- thanks! I figured it would involve
replicating part of the structure, but it wouldn't have occurred to me
to use '.local' in it.

The wild thing is that after I ran

mkdir -p 178/.local/share/cura/4.13/definitions

snap created a bunch of other stuff in there behind the scenes.


Thanks!
