Current evaluation

Maintainer task to consolidate rockcraft's build config (tox.ini, Makefile, setup.py, setup.cfg, pyproject.toml) toward starbase. Effectively done: setup.py/setup.cfg removed in #751, tox.ini removed, and the project fully migrated to starbase (uv + Makefile).

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue's goal has been accomplished through the project's evolution: setup.py and setup.cfg were removed in 'chore: migrate setup.py to pyproject.toml (#751)', tox.ini was removed in 'chore: remove unused project files' (9e259450), and rockcraft has fully adopted starbase tooling (uv, common.mk, starflow CI) — exactly the 'closer to Starbase' aim. The issue has 0 comments and no activity for ~12.7 months, and its specific proposal (keep tox.ini) was superseded by the starbase migration, so it is no longer actionable.

Issue body

### What needs to get done The current code base has a mix of `tox.ini`, `Makefile`, `setup.py`, `setup.cfg` and `pyproject.toml`. We should look into keeping just tox.ini and pyproject.toml (plus the various `requirements*.txt` pins), to be closer to Starbase. ### Why it needs to get done Mostly for our own sanity, and to take advantage of the fact that we're still `edge`: I would prefer to have a "cleaner house" before we call it `stable`.
