Displaying plugins formats output differently for core20 v core22
Metadata
Current evaluation
Plugin listings used columns for core18/core20 but one-per-line for core22; the inconsistent formatting was later fixed by the command migration.
Suggested action: close resolved
Reason: The report provides exact base-by-base commands on Snapcraft 7.1.4, and canonical/snapcraft#4830 (commit 0bee3723c) migrated the plugins command to consistent output formatting. Current unit tests also exercise the same output format across all supported bases.
