Passthrough stopped working in 7.x
Metadata
Current evaluation
Regression: snapcraft 7.x rejects the valid 'passthrough' field in apps.<name> config with 'extra field not permitted', while 6.x accepts it. No maintainer response, 0 comments, ~4 years old.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: This is a genuine regression bug report (valid 'passthrough' field rejected in 7.x but accepted in 6.x) with a concrete reproducer link, but it has 0 comments, no maintainer acknowledgement, and no assignee — no sign of triage. The 'craft-1294' label appears to be a tracking/milestone tag rather than a resolution. Inactivity alone is not grounds to close, and there is no evidence the problem is fixed or no longer reproducible, so it should be triaged rather than closed.

Issue body
```
Bad snapcraft.yaml content:
- extra field 'passthrough' not permitted in 'apps.server' configuration
```
Snapcraft.yaml:
https://github.com/ted-gould/lxd-terminal/blob/main/snap/snapcraft.yaml
Works great if I switch back to the 6.x series and build. Doesn't work on 7.0.x or 7.1.
