Research direction

The bug occurs because the snap wrapper script uses a hardcoded path `/snap/multipass/1233/bin/launch multipass` that doesn't match the snap name `multipass tmp`. The fix likely involves modifying the snap packaging (e.g., snapcraft.yaml or the wrapper script) to use a dynamic path like `$SNAP/bin/launch multipass` or adjusting the snap name resolution. Review the snap configuration and the wrapper script at `snap/local/command multipass` or similar.
