Research direction

Start with the CI run and core dump linked in the issue, then inspect src/daemon/daemon.cpp around line 3790 and the update_manifests_all path. Reproduce the multipass_tests failure in CI or locally, identify the intermittent segfault, and confirm that the unit test run completes without it.
