'snapcraft push' dies with traceback if credentials are invalid
Metadata
Current evaluation
snapcraft push crashes with UnicodeDecodeError traceback on invalid credentials, reported in 2018 via Travis CI for CloudCompare; no labels, no comments, no maintainer interaction in 8+ years.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 3080 days old (~8.4 years), from the snapcraft 2.x era, with zero labels, zero comments, and no maintainer engagement. The modern codebase has been completely restructured (extensions, linters, models, parts, services, store directories), making the specific UnicodeDecodeError in the old push/credentials code path no longer applicable to current versions.
