`--bases-index` ignored on charmcraft 3
Metadata
Current evaluation
charmcraft 3 pack ignores --bases-index, building all bases instead of the requested one. Reported on 3.2.1; no maintainer response, only a Jira sync bot comment. Option still exists in code but appears unused in the pack run path.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: No maintainer has acknowledged, labelled, or responded to this bug; the only comment is an autogenerated Jira sync (CRAFT-3670). The reporter provides a clear reproduction and logs, and the code still defines --bases-index in PackCommand._fill_parser, but I found no evidence it is consumed in the pack run path, so it needs triage to confirm the bug and decide whether to fix or document the deprecation in favor of --platform.
