apparently the "what do you do if snap refresh crashes?" is "don't do that".
A snap in updating mode can't be removed or updated, because it's being updated. you can't abort the update, because it already aborted itself in failing. and you can't use the app from the snap, because it's marked as being updated.

this does not give me confidence in this software distribution method
