Destructive mode not available
Metadata
Current evaluation
Resolved as a configuration requirement: snapcraft.yaml needed a base key; modern Snapcraft versions require base for every project.
Resolution: closed not a bug
Reason: Maintainer ~cjp256 identified the missing base keyword as the cause. ~sergiusens later confirmed that base is required for every new Snapcraft version; no resolving PR or commit was identified.
