Classic confinement request for shiftide

Hi,

I’m requesting classic confinement approval for my snap shiftide.

Snap name: shiftide Publisher: Scalovate Systems Solutions Website: https://www.scalovate.com Snap Website: https://www.shiftide.com

Why classic confinement is required:

ShiftIDE is an AI-powered code editor and terminal emulator built with Electron. Classic confinement is necessary because:

  1. It needs unrestricted filesystem access to open and edit files anywhere on the user’s system.
  2. It runs a terminal emulator that executes arbitrary shell commands.
  3. It integrates with system tools like git, node, python, compilers.
  4. Strict confinement would break core IDE functionality.

This follows the same pattern as VS Code, Zed, and other Electron IDEs on the Snap Store.

We are Canonical Partners in Qatar and aspiring ISV for Canonical. We would like to make our products available for all Ubuntu users world-wide.

Thank you.

Regards, Razwan Ulhaq CEO and Acting CTO Scalovate Systems Solution Lusail City, Qatar

Hey @Scalovate since it is private, in order to proceed with this request, the publisher needs to be vetted. Given that the upstream repository is private, the only option to move forward is for you to complete the Verified accounts process.
