Current evaluation

Task to remove the deprecated 'base' parameter from LifecycleManager and related base support. The parameter still exists in current code (lifecycle_manager.py, infos.py, main.py), so the work is unaddressed; no labels or maintainer activity beyond an auto Jira-sync comment.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue has no labels, no assignee, and the only comment is the auto-generated Jira sync bot (CRAFT-2915) — no maintainer has acknowledged, categorised, or prioritised it. The requested removal is still valid: the deprecated 'base' parameter remains in lifecycle_manager.py:110, infos.py:433 ('# base usage is deprecated'), and main.py:118, with no commit having removed it, so it should be triaged rather than closed.
