Current evaluation

Enhancement to add a schema generator and CI schema-diff job to craft-application, modeled on rockcraft's tooling, so schema-affecting changes can be flagged in changelogs. Triaged by a maintainer but no implementation progress in ~12 months.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The issue carries 'Status: Triaged' and 'Type: Enhancement' labels, so it has been assessed by a maintainer, and the requested work is verifiably still missing: .github/workflows/ has no schema.yaml and no commit references a schema generator or the linked CRAFT-4712 ticket. Inactivity alone (~369 days, only a bot comment) doesn't justify closing since the feature remains unimplemented and applicable to the current testcraft/partitioncraft/witchcraft layout.

Issue body

### What needs to get done We should include an upstream version of the [schema generator](https://github.com/canonical/rockcraft/blob/main/tools/schema/schema.py) and a [Schema validator/diff checker](https://github.com/canonical/rockcraft/blob/main/.github/workflows/schema.yaml) CI job in craft-application. ### Why it needs to get done We should know when a change is going to affect applications' schemas so we can include that fact in the changelog. While this might not cover every possible case, doing it will still improve things significantly. Perhaps we could generate separate schema files for all of our fakecrafts (testcraft, partitioncraft, platformcraft, witchcraft) to test more scenarios where the schema could change.
