Issue body
Remote building, as described in bug #1805220, allows snapcraft to dispatch build jobs to Launchpad builders. Further work is needed on Launchpad to allow HTTP pushes to repositories (bug #1824399). Currently remote build is implemented to use authenticated access and requires ssh keys, change that after Launchpad infrastructure is ready.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| #4821 remote build: hangs when logging into Launchpad | snapcraft | closed | Resolved via craft-application#337 with improved Launchpad API retry logic. The CI-specific login hang was explicitly rejected since remote-build is unsupported in CI environments. | |
| #4762 fix(remote): use launchpad credentials from legacy location | snapcraft | closed | Abandoned. The maintainer closed the pull request without merging, declining to implement legacy launchpad credential migration. Existing changelog deprecation notices and a call for testing were deemed sufficient. |
