Current evaluation

Request to improve the cryptic pydantic validation error shown when platforms/build-on is malformed in a craft project file. No maintainer response or labels; only an auto Jira-sync comment. Current code already converts pydantic errors via CraftValidationError.from_pydantic, so the raw message may be outdated.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: No maintainer has acknowledged, labelled, or responded to this issue — the only comment is the autogenerated Jira-sync bot (CRAFT-2919). The reported raw 'wheelcraft internal error: ValidationError(...)' message may no longer be reproducible because craft_application/models/base.py now wraps pydantic.ValidationError in CraftValidationError.from_pydantic with formatted output, so a maintainer should verify current behaviour before deciding whether this is still actionable.
