docs: add Charmcraft 4.2 release notes
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged: release notes for Charmcraft 4.2 (dated 17 March 2026) added via commit ec9e0727 (+113 lines across docs/release-notes/charmcraft-4.2.rst and the release-notes index). CI failures were pre-existing/unrelated to the docs change.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The documentation PR itself was merged into main as commit ec9e0727 ("docs: add Charmcraft 4.2 release notes (#2589)"), adding 113 lines of release notes. The only reported CI failures and the 19 unresolved review comments were pre-existing slow-test and `ty` type-check noise unrelated to the two documentation files changed.
