Current evaluation

Adds a prune-instances command to craft-application (closes #991), +249/-2 across 9 files. Author updated the craft-providers pin per maintainer guidance, but has been silent since 2026-05-05; 28 unresolved review comments and several failing CI checks remain.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: Maintainer mr-cal asked the author on 2026-05-05 to update pyproject.toml to the craft-providers 3.6.0 release, and the author has not responded for ~4 months (last activity 118 days ago), exceeding the 3-month window for unaddressed maintainer feedback. The feature itself is still needed (issue #991 remains open, no prune implementation exists in the repo), so this is a staleness close on author inactivity rather than irrelevance; 28 unresolved review comments and failing fast-test/lint/OSV-scanner checks compound the case.
