`charmcraft analyze` - check for new version of library
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed as a duplicate of canonical/charmcraft#417, which was abandoned after concerns that remote library checks would add network calls and slow packing.
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: Maintainer @sergiusens explicitly closed #509 as a duplicate of #417. The canonical issue was closed without implementation after maintainers raised concerns about network-dependent packing; no PR resolved #509.

Issue body
As discussed in the weekly Juju K8s meeting this week, it would be useful for `charmcraft analyze` to identify if (in the case that the charm consumes a charm library) there is a newer version of the library available in the store.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| #510 `charmcraft analyze` - check for library modifications | charmcraft | closed | Closed as superseded by the charm-libs key; PR #2473 documented the related library behavior, so the proposed analyze-time modification check was not implemented. | |
| #1980 Check for major charm library updates | charmcraft | open | Add major LIBAPI detection to charmcraft fetch-libs for CI. The request remains valid but low priority; fetching is currently limited to configured API versions, and a workaround exists. | |
| #1977 Alert about all charmlib updates available (not just ones matching the spec) on pack | charmcraft | open | Maintainer-authored request remains open: pack and fetch-libs should warn about all newer Charmhub charmlib releases, including those outside charmcraft.yaml constraints. |
