Current evaluation

Commands fail to load projects using advanced grammar when no build-for or platform is provided. Open since 2024-03, no maintainer response beyond a Jira sync bot; fix approach (loading only some project items) still unimplemented.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The issue is a real bug reported by a maintainer with a concrete failing CI example (snapcraft core24 grammar spread test) and a proposed direction (load only some project items), but it has no labels, no assignee, and no maintainer acknowledgement beyond the Jira sync bot (CRAFT-2596). Current ProjectService.configure() still requires platform/build-for resolution before grammar processing, so the problem appears unresolved. It should stay open pending triage/implementation.

Issue body

### What needs to get done A command cannot parse a project with advanced grammar if no build-for or platform is provided. Source: https://github.com/canonical/snapcraft/pull/4630#issuecomment-1988210684 As discussed as a team, this may be solved by loading only some items of the project. ### Why it needs to get done To allow applications to apply grammar without requiring the `build_for` or `platform` arguments. See an example of the problem in snapcraft's [ google:ubuntu-24.04-64:tests/spread/core24/grammar:amd64](https://github.com/canonical/snapcraft/actions/runs/8209947752/job/22456602084#step:4:376).
