Default to `latest/stable` for LXD
Metadata
Current evaluation
Issue to change LXD channel default from `5.21/stable` to `latest/stable`, later refined to omit `--channel` entirely for system default. Triaged and under maintainer discussion.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is triaged (Status: Triaged label), has active maintainer discussion (bepri updated the approach on 2026-09-11), and the scope is clear: stop hardcoding an LXD channel and let the system default apply. The recent comment indicates the team is actively refining the solution, so it should remain open for implementation.

Issue body
Currently we default to `5.21/stable` as a LXD channel during any setup. This isn't the best approach though -- 26.04, for example, expects to default to `6/stable`. We should instead just do the safest choice, `latest/stable`, to avoid making that decision for the user.
