Snapcraft not adopting metainfo

I am trying to create a Snap but have a problem that Snapcraft does not seem to adopt the full metainfo. I see that it did take the description and summary from the metainfo, but it does not take:

Here is my snapcraft.yaml:

github.com

barebaric/rayforge/blob/main/snap/snapcraft.yaml

name: rayforge
version: git
adopt-info: rayforge
confinement: strict
base: core24

apps:
  rayforge:
    extensions: [gnome]
    command: bin/rayforge
    common-id: com.barebaric.rayforge

    plugs:
      - home
      - gsettings

And here is the current metainfo:

github.com

barebaric/rayforge/blob/main/data/com.barebaric.rayforge.metainfo.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component type="desktop-application">

And there is a pyproject.toml in the root of the repository that installs the metainfo in share/metainfo. (two link limit reached )

I have searched the Snapcraft docs, triple checked the metainfo based on Freedesktop docs, search some of the forum posts here, but am at a loss why it isn’t picking up the info.

Any hints?

Anyone? I also tried running Snapcraft with --verbosity debug, but the output does not contain anything related to metainfo.
