PR #2874 merged to charmcraft main (2 approvals): implements craft-application's package service API so metadata.yaml creation is mediated in Charm/rock layers, tracking CHARMCRAFT-723.

Resolution: closed resolved

Reason: The PR was merged into main with 2 approving reviewers and lint, fast, and slow test jobs passing; the diff (+128/-55, 3 files) adds craft-application package service wiring so metadata.yaml is no longer written directly.
