Spread test the documentation examples
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add spread tests for documentation examples (like Rockcraft) to prevent them from becoming outdated. Open since 2023, no labels/assignees, only a Jira-sync bot comment; no evidence of implementation.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no assignee, and the only comment is an autogenerated Jira-sync bot message (CRAFT-3570), so it shows no sign of maintainer triage. It is a legitimate internal feature request from a maintainer (lengau), and while a related commit 'ci(docs): spread test documentation (#2126)' exists, there is no evidence it implemented the requested example-testing, so it should be triaged rather than closed.
