Current evaluation

Request for a way to delete/disable store account-keys so the register-key integration test (added in PR #726) can run against real stores with fresh keys per run. Open since 2019, no labels, no comments, no maintainer response.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue is 3644 days old with zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer acknowledgement, so it has never been triaged. It is a legitimate internal test-infrastructure feature request (store account-key deletion plus periodic cleanup job), not a support question, but the referenced PR #726 is long merged and the test layout has since migrated to spread, so a maintainer should reassess whether it is still applicable before any work is done.

Issue body

https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/pull/726 adds an integration test that creates account-keys on the store. It's currently disabled for non-fake stores because it would only ever be able to register any given key once. We need a way to disable account-keys, and the integration test should really do both once we have that capability. However, we should perhaps also generate a fresh key for each integration test run and register that. If we do that, then we need a job that periodically clears out the test account-keys from our assertions database.
