Displaying plugins formats output differently for core20 v core22
Metadata
Current evaluation
Inconsistent formatting of `snapcraft plugins` output across core18, core20, and core22 bases. Issue is 1454 days old with no maintainer engagement or labels.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 1454 days old with zero maintainer comments, labels, or assignee. It reports a cosmetic formatting inconsistency in the `snapcraft plugins` command output across different bases, which is a low-impact visual issue. After 4 years with no engagement and no evidence of broader user impact, the issue is no longer relevant to current versions of the project.
