Current evaluation

Feature request to expose name, version, arch and other metadata as outputs of rockcraft-pack-action for easier CI chaining (e.g. skopeo copy). Unlabelled, no maintainer response, ~999 days old; still unimplemented (action only outputs rock and revisions).

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue has no labels, no assignee, and zero comments, showing no maintainer assessment. I verified the current rockcraft/pack/action.yaml still declares only `rock`, `rockcraft-revision`, and `lxd-revision` outputs, so the requested name/version/arch metadata is not implemented and the request remains valid rather than obsolete. Inactivity alone is not enough to close, so it needs triage rather than close_stale.

Issue body

The `rockcraft-pack-action` provides an output `rock` (the filename of the rock produced). This is great for CI as reduces the boilerplate code needed to consume the output. For the same reason, it would be great if this action also provided data like `name`, `version`, and probably others. This would make it really easy to chain a `rockcraft-pack` call with a `skopeo copy`, etc. A use can currently inspect the `rockcraft.yaml` file to get this information, but it feels more natural and convenient to be provided these directly from `rockcraft-pack-action`
