Inconsistent quoting of risk level when releasing and closing channels
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft 2.41 inconsistently quotes channel risks: release says “candidate” while close prints edge unquoted. No maintainer triage or activity followed.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The exact commands and contrasting output provide a clear reproducer, but the issue has no labels, assignee, comments, or maintainer assessment. Current code uses repr-style quoting for both release and close messages, so maintainers should confirm whether 2.41's behavior persists or originated in a legacy dependency before selecting one quoting convention.
