Current evaluation

Feature request to store Launchpad credentials in the OS keyring (via craft-store/launchpadlib) with a file fallback, instead of always writing them to a file. Open, unlabelled, no maintainer response beyond the Jira-sync bot; still unimplemented in the launchpad client.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue has no labels, no assignee, and the only comment is the autogenerated Jira-sync bot message (CRAFT-2665) — no maintainer has assessed, categorised, or prioritised it. The underlying code still uses launchpadlib's file-based credentials (credentials_file in craft_application/launchpad/launchpad.py), so it is not stale-irrelevant, just untriaged.

Issue body

### What needs to get done `craft-store` uses `keyring` as its backend and `launchpadlib` has a way to store credentials in a keyring rather than a file. We should still have a way to fall back to a file when no keyrings are available, but we might be able to use [craft-store's FileKeyring](https://github.com/canonical/craft-store/blob/f9171f1bfedd3653cc764b91cf4a0193bc1e431a/craft_store/auth.py#L82-L143) to do that. ### Why it needs to get done Better not to use a file if we can avoid it.
