### 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).
