Current evaluation

Downstream tracking bug for craft-application#455 (strict base detection for non-Ubuntu bases breaking AlmaLinux builds). Upstream issue was closed/deferred to Jira CRAFT-3374. No labels, no maintainer engagement beyond bot, inactive 381 days.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The upstream issue craft-application#455 was closed and deferred to internal Jira CRAFT-3374 with no fix merged, yet almalinux@9 remains in SUPPORTED_BASE_STRINGS in charmcraft/const.py. The issue has no labels, no maintainer response (only the Jira-sync bot), and has been inactive for 381 days. A maintainer should decide whether to close this as superseded by the Jira ticket or keep it open as the underlying base-detection problem may still affect AlmaLinux users.
