Subject: [PATCH] Enhance snap role tasks for Debian systems by adding checks
 for snap readiness and installation status. Introduce a wait command for
 snapd, validate snap functionality before installing applications, and
 provide debug output for installation status. This improves error handling
 and user feedback during setup.
