Current evaluation

The login documentation omits valid --permission values; the maintainer confirmed the list is store-controlled and is awaiting a decision on a durable documentation source.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: Maintainer @lengau confirmed the documentation gap and explained that valid permissions come from Charmhub's request schema, which can change independently of Charmcraft. The CLI currently describes --permission generically, and the unresolved choice between a dynamic reference, a link, or maintained values requires input from the Charmhub documentation owners.
