Improve Pydantic schema for parts
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to model part properties (source-*, override-*, build/stage-packages/snaps) directly in the Pydantic schema instead of raw dicts. Triaged by a maintainer; no activity for ~11 months and the patternProperties workaround still exists in current code.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue carries 'Status: Triaged' and 'Type: Enhancement' labels from maintainer bepri, and the underlying work is demonstrably unaddressed: current HEAD of craft_parts/pydantic_schema.py still relies on patternProperties hacks (e.g. r"^override\-": {"type": "string"}) to permit these keys as raw patterns rather than typed fields. Inactivity alone is not a close reason, and the referenced TODO's workaround remains in the code, so it stays open.
